    dear AIX gurus,
    would like to seek yr advice.
    we have 2 nodes having one shared nfs mount point.

    server A
    NAS1:/app 209636712 157239848 25% 6549608 25% /app
    server B
    NAS1:/app 209636712 157239848 25% 6549608 25% /app

    if i would like to create id using smit, where we want the user profile to created in the shared nfs mount point, do i need to create at both nodes? i've created in one node, but when i check the /etc/passwd, the other node is not updated with the new id. but under the nfs mount point, i can see all the ids but with not correct uuid.
    would appreciate you can shed some lights. hope to hear from you. thank you

    while the home directory is shared across an NFS mount, you still need to define the user to the 2nd server, you can do that either redefining the same user (with the same uid as in the 1st) or use NIS or any other userid centralization method, I am not 100% sure whether LDAP can help you accomplish that too.

    best regards,
