Make /etc/pam.d/useradd as follows:
---------------
auth required pam_rootok.so
account required pam_pwdb.so
session required pam_pwdb.so
--------------
copy this to /etc/pam.d/shadow
and things should work better you still get a warning like
useradd: PAM chauthok failed.
I will look into this a little deeper
