Cannot add user F17\Rawhide, anyone else?

[Frank Murphy]

tried su \ sudo

useradd jimmy -c "Test User"
useradd: cannot open /etc/passwd
ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2207 Dec 26 11:16 /etc/passwd

Has anyone else come across this?
shadow-utils-4.1.4.3-12.fc17.i686

Fresh F16.Xfce yum update to rawhide.


As I added myself to admin group during install,
I can add a user in the desktop.
f-logo > administration > User Manager.

it seems to be a cli\Terminal thing.

Have checked bz for existing.

Do you have SELinux enforcing?  It sounds like it might be an issue that
I've hit where upgrading from F16 to F17 left broken labels in /etc, and
running 'restorecon -r /etc' cleaned things up for me.
