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

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.

       /etc/security/device_allocate

       /etc/security/device_maps
