Harsha-
Like previously mentioned, it's a problem with permissions. Your web
server is probably running as the user "nobody" and you need root
permissions to add a user. The quickest and (somewhat) safe method to do
this is to get the package called "sudo" and give the user "nobody" rights
to run vadduser.
