Hi,
I am running a VM with Xen 3.0.3. The domU OS is Scientific Linux 4which is based on Red Hat Enterprise 4.4. I could deploy the virtualmachine, and it runs all the services but I can't add new user. I getthe following error:
[root@CTB /]# uname -r
2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.cernxenU
[root@CTB /]# adduser testuser
adduser: cannot rewrite password file


Probably it has nothing to do with Xen.

Is the filesystem mounted rw, or ro?

Can you write any other files? i.e., will:


touch /etc/test

succeed?
