hi friends
i was checking out the passwd -l (to lock a particular account) option on one of my linux systems. I found that it locked the account alrite and then i tried to unlock the account by using the passwd -u option and i failed. i mean, the -u option shows that the account has been unlocked but when i try to login with the same user account, the login fails. Now this has affected all the users on my system. I can't seem to login from any of the users except root. Please help me out from this mess.
Thanks in advance Dharmesh

If you do man passwd, and look under the -l option, it will tell you what it does to lock an account. If you look at the -u option, it will tell you what it does to unlock the account. I think it is a trivial step to do this manually.
