usermod in AIX

Hello All,

Could you please let me know if the usermod command works in AIX? If yes, on what versions? We have a situation in which we need to change the UID of few users who have the same UID as root. We have changed it in /etc/passwd for now but want to use usermod in future. The syntax is as follows "#usermod -u 1000 sshd"; Are there any other ways to do it?

It is not recommended, but that is the recommended way. If there is a need to keep many systems in sync, something like yppasswd/nispasswd administers ids centrally.

AIX has SMIT: IBM Developer
