I've done some more troubleshooting, but nothing yet.  I tried using the "passwd -u" and "usermod -U" commands, but they seem to do the same thing.  The account doesn't appear to be locked at the password level.  Both commands result in "Cannot unlock the password for <username>!".  When I check the /etc/shadow file, there is no exclamation mark preceding the entry for that account.  If I lock the account with the "passwd -l" command, then it does show that it is locked and will allow me to unlock it.  This leads me to believe the lock is not on the password, but on some other level; maybe on the account itself.

 

As a test I created a new user with the exact same method. I assigned it to the same groups.  Everything works perfectly.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

hi its not behaving properly while you are using -i option its poping nothing is locked some times pops locked .

 

can you create new user and dont add that user to any group then check ,if able to do then may be some problem in grouping .

 

Yours,

Satya
