like I said, something stupid. that seems to have straightened it out

stupid question im sure, but its frustrating

My cron jobs are off by 5 hours. My system time is right but all of my cron jobs are running approximately 5 hours late. Any idea why?

Thanks. It does not need to be mounted on both boxes at the same time, but for my test, thats what I did. In theory the 2nd box would be a standby server that I would just be importing the VG from...

Aix 6.1, working with a nim master and nim_altmaster

both LPARS have access to the same data LUN, /nimdisk

I do realize the risks of having 2 servers access the same LUN, however it serves the...

No, I do like that process and will look into all the values that are set.



When you did this, did you see the process through to the end then go back and look at the created user? The...

I apologize if this is a simple/stupid question. When I add users in smit as root, many(most) of the fields are automatically popluated with some basic default values.

perfect. thank you very much!

this is working great. One scenario I didnt anticipate is if I need to add 2 zeros, 3, etc, to make it a total of 7 digits.

I put it in a while loop and that seems to function fine, but the nawk...

excellent, thank you! I will make the username field an argument on the script itself and our app security people can use this instead of modifying the passwd file directly.

our application spawns unix shell processes and it is not LDAP authenticated so it still uses the passwd file. band aid after band aid after band aid and you get the world I've inherited :)

This is a process that I inherited from years of doing it this way. the departments here are so separated, reverse engineering this whole thing would be a nightmare. I agree that hand modifying the...

its no the username, but the uid that needs to be appended with a zero. This is because our LDAP configuration requires that the uid in unix match the uid in the LDAP tree and our business uses...

We have a business need to modify the /etc/passwd file every time a new user gets added, because the user ID begins with a zero. When you create the new user in smit, even if you put the leading...

wow thats great. I really should learn awk.


I used my above code but continued on and ended up with the same output, just much more work

for username in $(who |cut -d " " -f1 |sort |uniq -d)...

Thanks for the fast reply, however I run into issues. I even tried sending the output of who to a file first, but my results are not the same. This is on AIX 6.1 if that matters.

I have a need to take the output of the who command and first strip out users with only 1 session, then of the remaining users I need only to list the ones who are using more than 1 IP address
