Full Discussion: cloning users access with different user name
Operating Systems AIX cloning users access with different user name Post 302254276 by zaxxon on Tuesday 4th of November 2008 04:47:00 AM

Sorry, but this sounds a bit strange to me. Why do you want to clone users and keep the UID? Why not have every user his own unique UID etc. and put them together in groups? You can always try to manipulate your /etc/passwd but I can not foretell what will happen, up to you experimenting.
Maybe you describe a bit more what this stuff should be good for so we can offer alternatives.
