Finding a specific UID on a site with hundreads of users.
Hello,

I am not the AIX guru..
This might seem simple for a lot but I am not sure where to start.. So here is my question:
I have a unix account on a remote site. My UID is 999999.

Now I need to create my account at my main site, with the same UID. So i have to make sure the UID 999999 is not used at my main site. How can I check that? Knowing that we have a few hundreds users on the main site?

Many Thanks.

M
