I had this problem on my x86_64 FC4 system as well.

Yes, same here. useradd hangs during the yum update. You can't login
from anywhere anymore. Current logins seem OK.
To solve this I installed my system then updated a few things at a time
and sprinkled in some reboots on the way. This is not scientific but I
now have a system that looks consistent.
Here is what I did from my .bash_history file:
yum check-update
yum update glibc glibc-devel
yum update pam
yum update selinux* kernel*
shutdown -r now
yum update zlib yum ypserv
yum update lib*
yum update xorg*
yum update udev
yum update audit* binutils coreutils dbus* devhelp
yum update glib2 pwlib rpm* shadow* slib* setup
shutdown -r now
yum update
