Is there any function to change password without verification, when process is run by root.
Or any way to add user with password, without interacting.
I want to add user from web interface.

That's really true. Another interesting thing is that the confidence o say so easily. But doing is much more complicated.
Move 20 mins to your ref.. Did not find any turning point to solve the problem. I will be checking your resources with more time.
Here I'm going to explain more.
I wanted to make a web interface,
think signup.cgi is the file which has followgin permission:
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root nogroup 90908 Dec 15 22:58 signup.cgi
system("/usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/client/nilu -s /bin/mail-pass -p "Passwd9NEU" nilu");
I wanted to do this from that cgi file in C.
Giving error:
useradd: unable to lock password file
Can anyone help me to go ahead?

Asking the right question is sometimes more important than knowing the answer.
Please read the FAQ
C Reference Card (A MUST!)
Pointers and Memory
The Essentials
CString lib
I solved the problem temporarily through a loop (each 5 second) process by root. This is much more secure. Though I don't think security is a problem even if that signup.cgi could do that. Ohh. I need encryption of passwords. char *crypt(const char *key, const char *salt); needs lots of library files.
