I wrote a "mkuser" script like you did and was able to create about "3000"
users on my test AIX system. This is the errors I get. Is this something
that you're seeing like:
# passwd 4000
Changing password for "4000"
4000's New password:
Enter the new password again:
# su 4000
3004-503 Cannot set process credentials.
# su 4000
3004-503 Cannot set process credentials.
# login
Jon's System
4000
4000's Password:
3004-610 You are required to change your password.
Please choose a new one.
4000's New password:
Enter the new password again:
3004-010 Failed setting terminal ownership and mode.
Connection closed.
I'll continue to see if I can find a solution.
Thanks,

All,
I am in the early stages of planning the migration our email system from
PMDF on VMS to Sendmail on AIX. This means i will have to batch add about
24,000 users on AIX. Has anyone done this before? I'm looking for a few
pointers...
I tried a big mkuser script. But when the /etc/group line exceeds 2048,
mkusers start failing. Any workaround for this, besides having multiple
lines for the same group? Is there a way to just not add users to
/etc/group? I tinkered with /usr/lib/security/mkuser.default with no
luck.
I also tried another technique of just creating /etc/passwd manually.
Then do usrck -y ALL to create /etc/security stanza's. However this also
started failing after a few thousand users... haven't figure out why.
Any other ideas? Also can someone explain the /etc/security/.ids format
on AIX 5.1?
I am pretty experienced with Unix/AIX, but admittedly have never dealt
with this many users on one system. Any pointers/gotchas are greatly
appreciated!!
-Ray
