Hi
Thanks for your suggestions. I have cleanly reinstalled everything now 
and working fine. I think when I made changes to ownerships some time 
back with Win 2000 permissions this problem happened.

Can i use login in a workgroup. Followed the ntsec document and 
login.readme. When i tried login in bash shell I could not login. Does 
login restrict usernames to 8 characters. I tried typing venkates as 
username also. Others are fine.

/etc/passwd file:

Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0::
SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:/home/root:
Administrator::500:544:,S-1-5-21-1715567821-813497703-854245398-500:/home/root:/bin/bash
venkatesh::1003:547:Venkatesh,U-venkatesh,S-1-5-21-1715567821-813497703-854245398-1003:/home/venkatesh:/bin/bash

/etc/group file:

Everyone:S-1-1-0:0:
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
None:S-1-5-21-1715567821-813497703-854245398-513:513:
Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544:
Power Users:S-1-5-32-547:547:
Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:
