Hi Thanks to all for quick response - Ling , Hartman, Pravez, John
Everybody suggested that if the server is not trusted it will work just take care of uid i-e uid should be unique and have to create home dir . If trusted system look for tcb auth file also.
Pravez also gave me script which he is using to create home dir
# more create_home.sh
#!/usr/bin/sh
#
cat /etc/passwd | while read line
do
USERNAME=$(echo $line | awk -F : '{print $1}')
UID=$(echo $line | awk -F : '{print $3}')
GID=$(echo $line | awk -F : '{print $4}')
if [ $UID -gt 200 -a $UID -lt 600 ]
then
if [ ! -d /home/$USERNAME ]
then
GROUPNAME=$(cat /etc/group | grep $GID | awk -F : '{print $1}')
mkdir /home/$USERNAME
chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME
chmod 711 /home/$USERNAME
cp /etc/skel/.cshrc /home/$USERNAME
chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME/.cshrc
cp /etc/skel/.exrc /home/$USERNAME/.exrc
chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME/.exrc
cp /etc/skel/.login /home/$USERNAME/.login
chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME/.login
cp /etc/skel/.profile /home/$USERNAME/.profile
chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME/.profile
else
echo "User: $USERNAME UID:$UID GID:$GID"
fi
fi
done

Subject: [HPADM] /etc/passwd question to create login id
Hi Admin
I have a question
If I will take the user info from etc passwd file (cut a line ) and append the same into passswd file on another server.
My question

Thanks
