error when I try to add an user using useradd

571299Apr 17 2011 — edited Apr 24 2011

Hello All,

I am installing Oracle 11g R2 on Solaris 5.10 VWARE.

as per the installation documents i created the oinstall and dba groups. and the oracle user using the below commands:

# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
# /usr/sbin/groupadd dba

# /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
UX: /usr/sbin/useradd: ERROR: Inconsistent password files. See pwconv(1M)

I've ran to re create from /etc/passwd:
#pwconv

I still get the same error

What can be the error?

Your help is much appreciated.
Regards,
