Hi,

I would like to create a script for consistent user account creation and maintenance.

Current situation:

Server A
user1:11111:15:USER USER:...
user2:22222:15:USER USER:...
Server B
user1:33333:15:USER USER:...
user2:11111:15:USER USER:...
Server C
user3:22222:15:USER USER:...
user2:33333:15:USER USER:...

Now i would like to make uid consistent on all servers for each user. Next time if user1 needs to be created on Server D it should automatically pick the particular uid.

Please suggest as soon as possible.

Thanks
Janak

Adduser will let you specify the uid of the user, so its fairly trivial to give them the same uid across all servers.
