Everything appears to look good in the mkuser.default file but when I 'Add User' from smit user, the defaults for pgrp, groups, shell, & home don't appear.

Any ideas??

I have set up as

user:
pgrp = info
groups = info,staff
shell = /bin/ksh
home = /home/$USER

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks -

My understanding is that these default values will be filled in if and only if you don't enter anything else. When I run smit on my system no default values show but they take effect when I create users.

You were correct - I left them blank and they automatically populated. Thank you for your time!

Just to test this, I modifed my config file and created a user and here is what I saw:
user:
pgrp = info
groups = staff
shell = /usr/bin/ksh
home = /home/$USER

1. mkuser sum1
2. lsuser sum1

sum1 id=210 pgrp=info groups=info,staff home=/home/sum1 shell=/usr/bin/ksh login...

So this looks like it worked by not adding the info into the groups as well. It gets added because it is in pgrp. Didn't use SMIT, just command line with AIX 5L V5.3 TL5.
