It would be best if you could include an example, in code tags, of what you have tried so far.
For example, here's start of my .profile (nothing to do with your solution). Send a sample that tries to do your assignment.
To figure out where the password file is, try "man passwd" and look around the man page.
Your profile will live in the .profile file in your home directory, so you can just print that. If you have to append the commands to the .profile that's pretty primitive. If you know how to use some kind of editor, it would be a lot more convenient for you.

I created a profile in HMC for a new LPAR and activated it but not yet installed AIX.
Is there a step to make this new LPAR available as vhostX from the VIO server after creating and activating an HMC profile?
I already shared the CD-ROM device from the HMC profile.
Thanks.
