Hi Binu,

using username in passwd -l should not be an issue. Go ahead and disable the user.

Another way to do it, is using SAM. Select the user and deactivate.

Choice is all yours.

Hi Binu,

>>can i use user id insted of username<<

No. You can't. "passwd" command will not accept userid as it's argument. You have to give username as a argument.

See man passwd

No ,using passwd command we have to input the username.
But You can prepare script to accomplish that.
