Full Discussion: Not able to create a new user through prompt and smit
Operating Systems AIX Not able to create a new user through prompt and smit Post 302454002 by citaylor on Friday 17th of September 2010 03:13:51 AM

This usually is a filesystem or file corruption issue....A few things to check:
  • The filesystem(s) that hold /etc, /var and /tmp have disk space available
  • The /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/security/user, /etc/security/login, /etc/security/passwd and /usr/lib/securty/methods.cfg have correct permissions
  • On later AIX try running "userck" to check the validity of the above files
  • If you have an earlier version of AIX, check for blank lines in /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and look for double blank lines or corruption in /etc/security/users, /etc/security/login and /etc/security/passwd
  • Is your system configured to authenticate against an external security database, for eg NIS or LDAP ?

I hope this helps...
