1) grep user /etc/passwd
2) grep user /etc/group
3) check whether user's auth file is present for e.g. user name is lee then
/tcb/files/auth/l/lee file should be present and u remove encrypted password and give new passwd from cmd line
4) check whether home directory is there, if not create the directory
5) Try to login with the user id.

Cheers...
Satish.

This depends on if your system is trusted or not. You can as suggested find it in the user database if it exists. If it does not you may find in the samlog or OLDsamlog. If the user has never changed their $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.exrc etc the date stamp on the file should tell you.

Hi,
check the /etc/passwd file if the created userid exist then account is created else no.
