Hello Preßy,
Thank you for your reply. I am aware of the files you mentioned and the uid has changed in these files. But, the issue I am facing is that the username on the files owned by the user where I changed the uid is replaced by the previous uid number.
I quess what I am hoping for is that someone has a scripts to go through the directories to locate all files that has the old uid and chown it with the user's new uid. If not, I may have to write my own script to do this.
Thanks again,
Mario

list_devices
list_devices(1) list_devices(1)
NAME
list_devices - list allocatable devices
SYNOPSIS
list_devices [-s] [ -U uid] -l [device]
list_devices [-s] [ -U uid] -n [device]
list_devices [-s] [ -U uid] -u [device]
The list_devices utility lists the allocatable devices in the system according to specified qualifications.
The device and all device special files associated with the device are listed. The device argument is optional and, if it is not present,
all relevant devices are listed.
The following options are supported:
-l [device] Lists the pathname(s) of the device special files associated with the device that are allocatable to the current process.
If device is given, lists only the files associated with the specified device.
-n [device] Lists the pathname(s) of device special files associated with the device that are allocatable to the current process but
are not currently allocated. If device is given, lists only the files associated with that device.
-s Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output.
-u [device] Lists the pathname(s) of device special files, associated with the device that are allocated to the owner of the current
process. If device is given, list only the files associated with that device.
-U uid Uses the user ID uid instead of the real user ID of the current process when performing the list_devices operation. Only a
user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization can use this option.
The following exit values are returned:
non--zero An error occurred.
