description: Hello, Quote: I am getting this issue when trying to do a useradd the problem occurs after adding QUOTAUGIDLIMIT variable, doesn't it? And if the second-level quota is off this problem doesn't occur, doest it? Does the problem go away if the QUOTAUGIDLIMIT variable is set to the value that is more than 1000?

description: We have a VPS with HostGator and were getting this same error about quota from /usr/sbin/useradd. I found this thread helpful in identifying the problem. However, quotaugidlimit had to be set on the physical node and the machine restarted. This was not an environment variable that could be set in the VPS using WHM but rather something that the hosting company had to assign. This might be obvious to members of this forum, but it wasn't to me when a search brought me here. Thought I'd share in case it smooths the path for the next stumbler.
