Full Discussion: UID Change
Operating Systems AIX UID Change Post 41360 by mcateriny on Friday 3rd of October 2003 07:22:55 PM
Old 10-03-2003
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
