Your problem seems to be in the switches.
The command you were sending:
AddUser -mod -u root -h whatever-host.com -p root +chgpass +active +web
I believe when modifying the account you should use:
AddUser -m root -h whateverhost.com -p root +chgpass +active +web
You substitute the -u switch for the -m switch when the account is being
modified, not created.
You should only use the -u switch when the user is being added initially.
I haven't used this since my import from SLmail quite a while ago so if I'm
wrong someone please point this guy in the right direction.
