Hi,

- which error message is the user getting ?
- /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log is a always good place to start looking.

Cheers,

Hi Lakshminarasimhan,

the user may be locked due to many reasons:
e.g. "too many unsuccessful logins"

first try:

$ passwd -s user
or
$ /usr/lbin/geprpw $user

look for "lockout=".

Hi ,

User account is not locked, server is also from last 365 days.

Is there any process which is responsible for initating userlogin process .

Hi

Another question
how does your user log in?
ssh or telnet or CDE or Oracle or SAP?

Hi Lakshminarasimhan,

inetd is the process waiting for connection on port 23/tcp. A incoming connection then is passed to telnetd to be served.

First check if telnet is enabled/disabled
$ grep telnet /etc/inetd.conf

if not #-marked check:
$ netstat -a | grep telnet
there should be line with LISTEN

if so check /var/adm/inetd.sec.
