About this document
This document applies to AIX Versions 3.2 and 4.x and provides
suggestions for debugging in the following situations:
- Trouble adding users
- Error message 3004-687 indicates a user does not exist
Debug as follows:
- Check to see if the root filesystem is full.
- Check for:
- If all the above look good, check the permissions for the following files
in the /etc/security
directory:
file permissions
------------------------
.ids -rw-------
environ -rw-r-----
limits -rw-r-----
passwd -rw-------
user -rw-r-----
- The following commands may also be useful for debugging the problem.
See the man pages or product documentation for a complete description of these
commands:
usrck -t ALL
pwdck -t ALL
grpck -t ALL
- The umask attribute in the mkuser.default
file expects an octal value
without leading zeros. Thus:
umask=77 Good format. Translates to octal 077.
umask=077 Bad format. Translates to octal 063.
- If none of the above indicates the source of the error, take the system
down and perform an fsck on the root and user filesystems.
