Public bug reported:
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 and use sudo to get
access to that file)
