I bet your shell is still `ash' not bash. What is the output of
echo $SHELL
But you can also check in the control panel what your shell is.
When you use the control panel to add users, you need to press RET
after every field you add. Also, do not fiddle around simultaneously
with the control panel and `adduser' on the command line. The problems
you described (/etc/passwd lock, bad prompt, etc) occured to me last year
when I started with RedHat.
