Title:
  Getting passwd: System error when adding user

Status in adduser package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: adduser

  I cannot set a password for a newly created user using adduser.

  Step to produce is to type adduser test. Then I get:

  Adding user `test' ...
  Adding new group `test' (1001) ...
  Adding new user `test' (1001) with group `test' ...
  Creating home directory `/home/test' ...
  Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...
  passwd: System error
  passwd: password unchanged
  Try again? [y/N]
