Thanks a million mx1ram

Hi,

I actually fixed the issue an hour ago , actually i had this system configured for kerbores authentication ; I did the basic thing which i was dumb not to do initially i checked with /var/log/secure ( it was an issue with pam authentication )

b) Had a look at my /etc/nsswitch.conf file following were the entries

passwd: files winbind
shadow: files winbind
group: files winbind


I changed it to

passwd: files
shadow: files
group: files

This worked.

Your code ( i did test it on a different machine) works neatly Smilie.

I will have to explore Kerberos.

Again Thanks a Lot for you time and effort appreciate it.
