Hmm...I was also having an issue adding users from the command line--not
sure if it's related to the originally reported issue.  But the syntax
listed yields for me:
[root at home root]# useradd -p testpass testuser
useradd: cannot rewrite password file

Interestingly, I can still add users using the graphical tools on my gnome
desktop without incident...
