hey everyone ..
I have a question about nis .. I finialy got it to work. I will update the other post when I get done here. But anyways .. I have started my nis test enviroment. So I did not want to move the uids of 100 to the nis test. I left then as local users. But when I go to sam to add a user it will automaticaly assign a uid of 101 because I am using 200 for my nis test env. I was wondering is there a way for it start with 200s instead of 100 so I dont have to keep trying to rememeber what uid was in there before?
So it will go 201 202 203 in order.
Thanks
Richard

From TKB document W3470737.

Problem Description
Can I add users via SAM starting at UID (user id) 200?
Configuration Info
Operating System -HP-UX Version -10.0
Hardware System -K200
Solution
Prior to HP-UX 10.10, SAM is hardcoded to add new users with a UID at the first unused UID greater than 100. There is no way to change the behavior of SAM. There are two workarounds for this:
- Manually change the UID every time, as you are adding the user through SAM.
- Make enough dummy users so there are users from UID 101 through 199.
In the 10.10 release of HP-UX, a new feature, User Templates, was added to the Users and Groups area of SAM. This feature enables a SAM user to create one or more templates that specify how users are to be added to the system. In particular, templates allow the following options regarding user IDs:
i) Use the lowest available user ID in the password file
ii) Use the lowest available user ID over a given minimum value
iii) Use the lowest available user ID between two given values
iv) Prompt the user for the user ID

Hope this helps!

Re: nis and uids assigned ..
Actually you can tell SAM to say create my UIDs starting from 200 onwards. In the account creation window goto Action->UserTemplate and I believe it has to be defined here. Have not used it before. You should be able to define at least 3 different behavior here ..
1)Use lowest available UID in the password file
2)Use lowest available UID over given minimum value
3)Use lowest available UID between 2 given values
1)Use lowest available UID in the password file
2)Use lowest available UID over given minimum value
3)Use lowest available UID between 2 given values
