UID Change
Currently, I have about 7 servers and the uid for a given person is different on each server. I want to make the uid's the same for a given username on each server. I know how to change the uid via smit, but when I do the previous uid number shows up as the owner for the files of that username. Does anyone have any idea how I can also change the uid at the file level? For example:
Before changing the uid...
-rw------- 1 username staff 3726 Oct 03 13:10 testfile
After changing the uid... There are thousands of files where the uid does not change.
-rw------- 1 211 staff 3726 Oct 03 13:10 testfile
Instead of uid of 211 I want to see the username.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

SYNOPSIS
eurephiadm users --list|-l [-S|--sort <sort keys>]
eurephiadm users --show|-s [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>] [-l|-|-lastlog] [-L|--lastlog-details] [-a|--attempts]
[-b|--blacklist]
eurephiadm users --activate|-a [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
eurephiadm users --deactivate|-d [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
eurephiadm users --add|-A [-u|--username <user name>] [-P|--password <plain text password>] [-C|--certid <certificate ID>] [-D|--digest
<certificate SHA1 digest>] [-c|--certfile <certificate file>] [-2|--pkcs12]
eurephiadm users --delete|-D [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
eurephiadm users --password|-p [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
eurephiadm users [-h|--help [<mode>]]
DESCRIPTION
eurephiadm users manages eurephia user accounts. It provides an interface for listing, creating new, modify and delete user accounts.
MODES
Available modes:
-l | --list
[-S|--sort <sort keys>]
List all user accounts. Providing -S|--sort and a sort key will define the sort order of the list. Valid sort keys are:
uid - user ID
username - User name belonging to the user account
activated - When the user account was activated
deactivated - When the user account was deactivated
lastaccess - When the user account was last used
-s | --show
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>] [-l|--lastlog] [-L|--lastlog-details] [-a|--attempts] [-b|--blacklist]
Show user account details. --uid or --username are required. The other arguments only defined which kind of information to show.
-a | --activate
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Activate a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-d | --deactivate
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Deactivate a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-A | --add
[-u|--username <user name>] [-P|--password <plain text password>] [-C|--certid <certificate ID>] [-D|--digest <certificate SHA1
digest>] [-c|--certfile <certificate file>] [-2|--pkcs12]
Add a new user account. --username is required. If you want to assign a password for the new user account via the command line,
provide the password with --password.
To associate this user account against an already regstistered certificate, it can be done by either refering to the certificate ID
in eurephia using --certid or providing the certificate SHA1 digest/fingerprint to --digest.
A brand new certificate can be registered and linked to the user account directly if you have access to the certificate file. The
file can be in either PEM/DER format or PKCS#12. Use --certfile to indicate the certificate file to extract the information from
and --pkcs12 if it is a PKCS#12 file.
-D | --delete
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Delete a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-p | --password
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Change password on a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-h | --help
[<mode>]
Show a help screen. Without any arguments, all modes are listed. Providing a mode will show more information about the chosen
mode.
