I created a new user "oracle",
but when i try logging in, it throws error incorrect password.
su: incorrect password although it's correct
and if i login as root and then su postgres , it works.
Then command i used in creating user is
./useradd -d /home/oracle -p oracle oracle
Can anybody help us in solving it out.
Thanks in advance.

If you use "useradd -p", you need to specify the encrypted password as returned by the crypt command. The easiest solution is not to specify -p, but do a "passwd oracle" to set the user's initial password.
Best regards.
