Full Discussion: UID Change
Operating Systems AIX UID Change Post 41359 by pressy on Friday 3rd of October 2003 07:03:04 PM
Old 10-03-2003
i'm not the aix guru, but in solaris when you see digits as an owner, the userid isn't defined in /etc/passwd....

if i have more than one maschine with the same users, i alway make one maschine first and copy these files to the other maschines:
/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group
so i have the same users with the same id everywhere......

greetings Preßy

partimaged-passwd(8)				       Partition Image Server Configuration				      partimaged-passwd(8)

NAME
partimaged-passwd - Manage partimaged user accounts SYNTAX
partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username password partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username DESCRIPTION
partimaged can either authenticate against local user accounts (This needs access to /etc/shadow. As this is a potential security risk this method is not recommended) or its own password database in /etc/partimaged/passwd.db. To simplify the management of the partimaged user database this tool was written. It allows to easily add and remove users or list the users in the database. All users in this database are allowed to access the partimaged server. OPTIONS
-D username Delete the specified user from the password file. -l List users in password file and exit. -h Output help information and exit. FILES
/etc/partimaged/passwd.db AUTHORS
