How can we able to maually assign uid to users?

[Pete Randall · Accepted solution]

Read the man page for "useradd":

useradd -u uid

It's nice that you have this resource to help you through your hp-ux learning curve, but you really need to make an effort of your own to find an answer for some of these simple questions. Some day it might just come in handy for you to be able to figure something out on your own.

And it would also be nice if you rewarded the people who take the time to answer your endless questions by assigning some points.

to change the UID of an existing user look for

# man usermod

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

useradd -u #### -g #### -m -d /home/username -s /bin/csh

-u - user id
-g - group id
-m - create home directory
-d - home directory
-s - default shell

man useradd -> for more information
