I need to add a new user who will only be able to access one single folder on my Solaris 9 system. Can this be achieved by using just useradd or do i need to fiddle with auth_attr table?

Running into a bit of a problem on one of our HP-UX nodes.
I'm unable to add users through useradd.
We can edit the passwd file normally or through vipw, just fine. Once you remove the .pwd.lock file, though, vipw will not work.

CHDIR(2) Linux Programmer's Manual CHDIR(2)
NAME
chdir, fchdir - change working directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int chdir(const char *path);
int fchdir(int fd);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
fchdir():
_BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
|| /* Since glibc 2.12: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
DESCRIPTION
chdir() changes the current working directory of the calling process to the directory specified in path.
fchdir() is identical to chdir(); the only difference is that the directory is given as an open file descriptor.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
Depending on the file system, other errors can be returned. The more general errors for chdir() are listed below:
EACCES Search permission is denied for one of the components of path. (See also path_resolution(7).)
EFAULT path points outside your accessible address space.
EIO An I/O error occurred.
ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving path.
ENAMETOOLONG
path is too long.
ENOENT The file does not exist.
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.
ENOTDIR
A component of path is not a directory.
The general errors for fchdir() are listed below:
EACCES Search permission was denied on the directory open on fd.
EBADF fd is not a valid file descriptor.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.4BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
The current working directory is the starting point for interpreting relative pathnames (those not starting with '/').
A child process created via fork(2) inherits its parent's current working directory. The current working directory is left unchanged by
execve(2).
