if the uid doesn't change, there shouldn't be any impact unless you have
scripts that reference it, or aliases for mail. all the system stuff goes
by uid.

Subject: Changing user-id
Hi *,
What is the impact of changing a user ID ?
For example: "sam" wants to change to "samuel".
Can I:
1. vi /etc/passwd
2. vi /etc/security/passwd
3. vi /etc/security/user
4. vi /etc/group
5. mkpasswd -f
The user ID # will stay the same. Anything else ?
BV
