Hi, all you have to do is change those attribute from the root context
wuth the chattr command..

This is not a bug, but it is a really nice feature ! You can control from
the root server what file a vserver can and can't change.

Oup's I'm not sure anynore ,,,, I just did
[root_at_vserver:v2 etc]lsattr passwd
------------- passwd

And in that vserver I can add user using the normal adduser command.

Maybe your passwd file is hardlink to a file that has some attributes that
prevnet it to be modify !

Good luck
