Thanks much to
The V. Tran and Charles Homan and Mark Day who suggested I run this command

nistbladm -e uid=1234 '[name=username]'passwd.org_dir

All I had to do then was do a chown -R on the users home directory and
was all set.

It was not necessary to delete and then re-create the users account.

My original questions follows:

 What's the procedure to change a NIS + users UID?
> According to the Solaris 9 Admin guid it says to delete the account
> and then re-create it with the new UID.
>
> I noticed that Solstice Adminsuite does't allow for the changing of
> the UID. Is there a command line way to do it or is deleting
> and creating
> the account once again the only option?

> Thanks much.
