Hi, hope someone can help with this.

I've built lfs-svn-20061209 and am building blfs-svn-20070111

I'm starting to build mysql-5.0.33 and use the commands from
blfs-svn-20070111 as follows:

groupadd -g 40 mysql

and the groupadd works fine. When I issue the command 

useradd -c "MySQL Server" -d /dev/null -g mysql -s /bin/false -u 40
mysql

I get the following error:

useradd: invalid numeric argument 'mysql'

Does anyone know what has caused this and if so how can I overcome the
problem?

I think it may be something to do with cracklib, linuxpam or shadow and
have installed the following versions of these

cracklib-2.8.9
Linux-PAM-0.99.4.0
shadow-4.0.18.1

Thanks in advance.

Gordon
