Hello all

I am having a problem adding users. This is the error that I get.

.
.
.
Adding new user...
Rebuilding the password database...
1829 password entries(longest entry is 96 bytes long)
Creating home directory...

chown: unknown username vincent
chown: unknown username vincent
chown: unknown username vincent
chown: unknown username vincent
chown: unknown username vincent
You must enter a new password for (vincent).
Change password: vincent: unknown user.

Warning, the password for (vincent) was not set.
Finished adding user account for (vincent).

.
.
.

Then after this error the user cannot login and the entry into the passwd file is not correct.

Thanks.
