Thans a lot to all of responses

from the most logical one from:
  "Harrington, David B (Contractor)" <dharrington@dscr.dla.mi" to check
uniq UID
or other method that I try which also came from:
  Nicolas Dorfsman <ndo@woup.net>
Or the folks who tellme that could be NIS, but i forgot to tell I am not
using NIS , but thanks anyway.

The bullseye came from:

       "Connolly, Michael" <Michael.Connolly@itt.com>

The / fs was a 100% I try to tune it with tunefs , but no result
later , the search of big files turn into a file name  /dev/rmt/On
yes its an O the dba appears to get it wrong and their backups were
using all available fs.

Thanks again!  the original post is below.

Hello Gurus, I have a strange problem going on on a 450 running sol 8.

I have over 650 accounts on the system, but when i try to create another
one
using both admintool or useradd it wont letme ,  i create the entries on
the /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow manually but when i try to change the password of ANY
account i get

passwd tda889
passwd (SYSTEM): Unexpected failure. Password database unchanged.
Permission denied

I use pwck some home loginnames to large but I dont think this is the
problem,
here is the message using useradd.

 /usr/sbin/useradd -u 1106 -g 500 -d /export/home/tda890 -s /bin/false
-c "Galerias MExico DF"  -m -k /etc/skel tda890
UX: /usr/sbin/useradd: ERROR: Cannot update system files - login cannot
be created.

Thanks , I Will summarize !
