I tried to install an OpenVPN access server in Centos 6 on a linode VPS.

The installation is okay for my ubuntu 11.10 distro in another VPS. The installation error occours when adding the user "openvpn" in Centos.

The error message is

"useradd: canot open /etc/passwd"

The detail of My "/etc/passwd" file:

"-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1194 Oct  9 00:33 /etc/passwd"

I am not quite familiar with Centos, so how can I add the user "openvpn" in order to setup the VPN service?

Thanks.
