Im getting a similar error when a user is trying to join a
project. The project already has 4 members and for some reason
another user is generating the following error:
*** WARNING: Could not find an unused unix_uid!
*** /usr/testbed/sbin/newuser:
    Could not create new user!


This typically happens if you have added (or deleted) an account by
hand to the password file on boss, since that will mess up what Emulab
thinks is supposed to be there.

Yes, it does seem a bit fragile ... sorry.

Anyway, what is the last entry in the password file?
