    Hi,

    I'm looking at a passwd file of an AIX server and I notice that there are user IDs with the hash (#) symbol. e.g. #operator_1.

    What does this mean? Is the user disabled? Thanks.

    if thats the case then this looks like somebody wanted to comment out this line altough im fairly sure that comments are not allowed in /etc/passwd file.
    perhaps its the username itself starts with a #
    can you log in with this users credentials?
