User Creation on HP-UX

ashwin — Sun, 03 Jun 2001 06:17:58 GMT

Hello to members,
I have created one user with SAM,
User is successfully created but when I am login to that user and tooks the output of
"id" it is as follows,
$ id
uid=102( ) gid=20 (users)
It gives uid no. but doesn't show the user name in bracket. Have any idea about it. Please help.

thanks in advance.

Is /etc/passwd world readable (should be rw-r--r--) ?

Hi,

If this is an 11.x box then one other thing can cause this: pwgrd. If /var/tmp or /tmp is full you will see this behavior; you might also try stopping/starting pwgrd.

as root
cd /sbin/init.d
./pwgr stop
./pwgr start

Hi Laurent, A. Clay Stephenson
I have checked the permission of passwd file
and found rw-r--r--.

As suggested by A. Clay Stephenson I have tried but still " $ id" doesn't shows username
after uid no.

thanks.

What does "grep :102: /etc/passwd" give ?

Change the uid of user.
