Operating Systems AIX UIDs being overwritten immediately Post 302116694 by xsys2000 on Monday 7th of May 2007 05:19:51 PM

UIDs being overwritten immediately

We have a problem where we delete a user and their associated UID gets dumped back in the UID pool. The if we immediately create a another (new) user, AIX reuses the last UID, the one that was just released. This is causing a problem when reports are being generated because the new users name is now associate with ALL previous transactions linked to that UID.

Is there a way to tell AIX to NOT use the last released UID?

So to speak: currently its "Last release, First use" and we need "Last release, last use".

We are running AIX 4.3.3
