id cmd gives old uid after uid changes

[Steve Blackwell]

I need to change the uid of 800 users on a Tru64 4.0F box.

I have written a script that converts the uid's, in short it changes the uid in the passwd file and in the tcb database via edauth. I then use find to change all file ownership.

But after a users id is changed the id command still returns the old id.

Where does the id command get it's information from, I thought it was the passwd file.

Am I missing something? Do I need to update the id command somewhere else?

Cheers

Steve

Hi,

have you used the mkpasswd after that?

greetings,

Thanks for the quick response.

That worked, peachy.
