changig uid and the affect it will have

Hello,

I have 2 sun servers. We are running Oracle apps. We have to apply patches to both servers whenever a patch needs to be applied for Oracle.

We use the same username eg. applmgr on both servers. We have a shared patch area which we can run the patch from on both boxes.

the uid for applmgr on box 1 is 101
the uid for applmgr on box 2 is 801. This means that we have to keep chmod'ing the patch files on box 1 (no big deal I know) when we want to apply them on box 2. This is because they have different uid's.

What's the best way to modify uid's and what affect would it have on files that are already owned by applmgr. Both uid's will have to change.
Could I just change the uid in /etc/passwd on both boxes so that they are the same and then chown -R all files owned by applmgr ?

Thanks for any suggestions.
Dave

stg-sink

STG-SINK(1)							   StGit Manual 						       STG-SINK(1)

NAME

       stg-sink - Send patches deeper down the stack

SYNOPSIS

       stg sink [-t <target patch>] [-n] [<patches>]

DESCRIPTION

       This is the opposite operation of linkstg:float[]: move the specified patches down the stack. It is for example useful to group stable
       patches near the bottom of the stack, where they are less likely to be impacted by the push of another patch, and from where they can be
       more easily committed or pushed.

       If no patch is specified on command-line, the current patch gets sunk. By default patches are sunk to the bottom of the stack, but the --to
       option allows to place them under any applied patch.

       Sinking internally involves popping all patches (or all patches including <target patch>), then pushing the patches to sink, and then
       (unless --nopush is also given) pushing back into place the formerly-applied patches.

OPTIONS

       -n, --nopush
	   Do not push back on the stack the formerly-applied patches. Only the patches to sink are pushed.

       -t TARGET, --to TARGET
	   Specify a target patch to place the patches below, instead of sinking them to the bottom of the stack.

       -k, --keep
	   Keep the local changes.
