Michael Perzl is probably the most structured worker i ever came across. Yes, that means that "packageA" really contains only A and not a iota of B, which might create a dependency to B, but you will come to appreciate the robustness and dependability his packages offer. Something unexpected practically never happens. This is arguably the best site for third-party AIX software and the packages are way better than the rpm-packages IBM itself offers.

hmm....
"lssrc" ist listing
running ("active") and
stopped ("inoperative") subsystems (~=daemons), not files. It is the interface to the "System Resource Controller" (SRC), a sort-of super-daemon. You will find some information here if you search for it.
It might well be that the previous admin created some users/groups himself. There are some easy commands to find out what belongs to where:
"lslpp -l" lists all installed packages in a long list
"lslpp -f <package-name>" lists all the files/directories belonging to the package
"lslpp -w <file>" lists the package a file belongs to (if any)
You can even "take apart" lpp-packages and look into their pre-/post-install-scripts, which would be responsible for creating users, groups and the like.
I hope this helps.

Hey guys,
since AIX 5.3 reaches EOS on april 2012, I really need to update my systems asap.
Any experience on upgrading directly to 7.1, with sap/db2/oracle?
could do fresh installs and import my sap/db vgs, but this would be a lot of work

yum-list-data
yum-list-data(1) yum-list-data(1)
NAME
yum list data plugin
SYNOPSIS
yum [options] [command] [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
This plugin extends yum for some commands that give aggregate package data based on lists of packages
added yum commands are:
* list-vendors
* info-vendors
* list-rpm-groups
* info-rpm-groups
* list-packagers
* info-packagers
* list-licenses
* info-licenses
* list-arches
* info-arches
* list-committers
* info-committers
* list-buildhosts
* info-buildhosts
* list-baseurls
* info-baseurls
* list-package-sizes
* info-package-sizes
* list-archive-sizes
* info-archive-sizes
* list-installed-sizes
* info-installed-sizes
* list-groups
* info-groups
all of which take the same arguments as the list and info yum commands. The difference between the list and info varieties is that the info
versions lists all the packages under each aggregation.
list-vendors, info-vendors
Is used to list the aggregate of the vendor attribute on the packages, examples are "Fedora Project" and "Red Hat, Inc.".
list-rpm-groups, info-rpm-groups
Is used to list the aggregate of the group attribute on the packages, examples are "Applications/System", "Development/Tools" and
"System Environment/Base"
list-packagers, info-packagers
Is used to list the aggregate of the packager attribute on the packages, examples are "Fedora Project" and "Red Hat, Inc.".
list-licenses, info-licenses
Is used to list the aggregate of the license attribute on the packages, examples are "GPL" and "MIT"
list-arches, info-arches
Is used to list the aggregate of the arch attribute on the packages, examples are "i386" and "x86_64"
list-committers, info-committers
Is used to list the aggregate of the committer attribute on the packages, this is taken from the most recent changelog entry of the
package.
list-buildhosts, info-buildhosts
Is used to list the aggregate of the buildhost attribute on the packages, examples are "mybuilder.example.com" and "xen-
builder1.fedora.redhat.com"
list-baseurls, info-baseurls
Is used to list the aggregate of the url attribute on the packages after discarding the path of the URL, examples are
"http://yum.baseurl.org/" and "http://www.and.org/"
list-package-sizes, info-package-sizes
Is used to list the aggregate of specified ranges the packagesize attribute on the packages, examples are "[ 1B - 10KB ]" and "[
750KB - 1MB ]".
list-archive-sizes, info-archive-sizes
Is used to list the aggregate of specified ranges the archivesize attribute on the packages, examples are "[ 1B - 10KB ]" and "[
750KB - 1MB ]".
list-installed-sizes, info-installed-sizes
Is used to list the aggregate of specified ranges the installedsize attribute on the packages, examples are "[ 1B - 10KB ]" and
"[ 750KB - 1MB ]".
list-groups, info-groups
Is used to list the aggregate of the yum groups that the packages are in, examples are in "yum grouplist". Note that in yum groups a
package can be in more than one group at a time.
It is worth noting that some of the above data can be "unknown", to yum, at which point a separate aggregation called "-- Unknown --" is
listed.
EXAMPLES
To list all the groups that have an update, along with the number of packages in each group, use:
yum list-rpm-groups updates
To list all the committers to packages that have yum in their name, use:
yum list-committers 'yum*'
To list ranges of the sizes of packages installed or available, use:
yum list-package-sizes
To list yum groups that have an update, use:
yum list-groups
