michael@Alien:~/foo$ useradd test useradd: /etc/passwd konnte nicht gesperrt werden; versuchen Sie es später noch einmal.
(/etc/passwd cant be locked; please try again later)
it would be better if useradd is checking if it is executed as root and if not, the error-message should show something like
(/etc/passwd cant be locked; please try again later or run and use sudo to get access to that file))
