Error:
Account Creation Status: failed (Unable to add group

Solution:

Uninstall ncsd using the following commmand

rpm -e ncsd

Then remove any locked under /etc
rm -f *.lock

you may have a ptmp file under /etc also this will need to be removed or renamed.

Restart the server and try to create the account again

NCSD is caching the passwd file and cpanel is unable to write to it .
