2 same accounts in 2 different FS

[panchpan]

Hello.
Is it possible to create accounts on HP-UX m/c say XXX in two different file systems say-
/FS1/XXX/ and
/FS2/XXX/ Is it a problem ?

THANKS!

Depends on what you mean by an account. You can certainly have two directories with the same name in different filesystems, but if you mean user accounts that is a different matter entirely.

Hi,

No accounts need to be unique.

Hi,
you can't have duplicate user accounts. But you can have same directory (XXX) in different paths.

Please clarify what you mean by "account".

by account i meant login ID

Hi,
in that case the answer is no, as you can not have a duplicate userid !

[Dennis Handly]

You could have one account and that user owns both directories but only one would be the home directory.
