I have still the same problems with adding users to the system:

passwd -command is blocking all user adduser and passwd functions as long
as the user has passwd-command "open". Couldn't this be fixed? Why is
passwd command locking the /etc/passwd-system for so long time?

Same problem was in 2.0 and 2.0.5.
