keep UIDs/GIDs consistent
Hi,
What is the best ways to keep UIDs and GIDs consistent across unix and linux server. my company have a servers running on hpux, linux, aix and many of them have veritas cluster and hacmp running, many time user account have been created only on one of the cluster node and not the others causing problem when cluster failover and also there is a lot of problem with UIDs being inconsistent across the cluster node. and there can be hundred of users for every application making user account manager vey difficult.
I need some suggestion on what are ways to keep automatically sync all the user account on unix and linux server and minimize user management problem.
