I had to add users to security group to fix the issue
Considering that tcb is not enabled on server, is there any attribute that
might prevent
Users from reading security files ?

Subject: RE: problem with passwd file
I just figured that everything is fine with root user,
I mean root user sees file's owner ship with username but for normal users
File's owner ship is UID or numbers.
It should be permission problem.
Any idea that might help to find the cause and fix it.

Subject: problem with passwd file
Hi
I just upgraded one of our AIX servers and after upgrade file's owner ship
shows up as number
For all users unless root user.
Users are exist in /etc/passwd file but commands can't find the user,
For example chown commands can't find user bin in password file
But this user is exist in /etc/passwd file.
## ls -la smit.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 112 1 148547 Dec 10 14:37 smit.log
## chown bin smit.log
chown: 3002-131 bin is an unknown username.
## grep "^bin" /etc/passwd
bin:!:2:2::/bin:
so far I tried following commands and still couldn't fix the issue.
usrck -y ALL
pwdck -y ALL
mkpasswd -c
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
