Thanks to Steve LaBelle, Chris Wincentsen, and John Lanier for quick
replies.

As stated before, I added the entry back in the /etc/passwd file.
Typing in edauth adm showed that there was an entry there for the
acccount so I didn't have to run convuser. I then ran pwck and grpck
and found that adm had no password, which I took care of.

I think we're good to go.

Thanks again all and happy Friday! (7.5 hours 'til beer thirty)

Received a suggestion from Steve LaBelle to simply edit the passwd file
and put it back in. This seems to have worked, but as we are running
enhanced security will this put everything back in place as far as it's
concerned?

When deleting a users' account on a Tru64 5.1B cluster and enhanced
security, and inadvertantly deleted the adm account. The system is
still running, but I can't re-create it because users have to have a UID
starting at 12. How can I re-create this account?
