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.

Hello, I have configured openldap for SSO. Now I am authenticating all of my linux boxes with this SSO. Now I have requirement that my root user should not authenticate through this SSO. Rest of all users should authenticate through this. Can any one have any suggestion for this.
