[Devel] Vzctl set --userwasswd question

[Kir Kolyshkin]

I'm not really sure, but I guess this is old vzctl vs. new kernel 
incompatibility, solved by 
http://git.openvz.org/?p=vzctl;a=commitdiff;h=4766d1f711a73e7929530a5a3f50d749e0f9de6a

Can you please try vzctl-3.0.16 with this patch, or latest vzctl from 
git, and report your results here?

Regards,
  Kir.
