RE: Ldap authentication

 Thank you terry for bothering this. Actually I want that super user should
authenticate locally like /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow. Please advice if you
have any suggestion for this.

If you are asking if the superuser account on a Linux system should
authenticate via something other than the local files (/etc/password, /
etc/shadow, etc), then I would remark that that is not something I would
recommend.
