few reasons might match your cases.

1. user account is in deactive state
2. user use incorrent password
3. user connect to wrong server

Suni,

How are the users logging in? Local console, X-Session, Telnet, SSH? Have you checked the status of the users account through sam?

Does root show the same problem or just users?

Try

pwck

which checks /etc/passwd entries.

Best regards,
Fabio

Hi Sunil ,

If after password changing you are not able to login to that user , try this.

# sam
Reactivate the user , if it us deactivated.

Also you can check with pwck ,
To check inconsistencies with the Protected Password database.

Cheers,
Raj.
