I am getting this issue when trying to do a useradd

The quotauidlimit is already set at 1000 and the VPS has been rebooted.

Anybody got any ideas ?

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?

Well, what I did is set the limit to 3000 and the shut off the vps then restart the vz service completely on the main node. then it started working again...

so not completely sure if it was the actual limit or the vz didnt recognized the new limit from the first restart

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.
