Hmm... The only reason why useradd should work on Knoppix
would probably be for educational purposes. You could as well
use
cp /etc/gshadow /etc/gshadow.new
mv -f /etc/gshadow.new /etc/gshadow
(or put his in a script) to make /etc/gshadow writable.

You can probably put that in KNOPPIX/knoppix.sh for a customized system.
