Hello,

I have problem with modifying user uid at Oracle Solaris 11.3 machine. This happen when i modifying user name "test" from uid 103 to 106 with this command:

~# usermod -u 106 test

fyi, this user only have staff rule.

"Test" user is owner of my application, and it going down after i modifying "test" uid. When i check application directory, they ownership don't following change to new user uid, look like below:

~# ls -al /usr/apps

total 6

drwxr-xr-x   3 103      staff        512 May  9 14:46 .

drwxr-xr-x   8 root     root         512 May  9 14:46 ..

drwxr-xr-x   3 103      staff        512 May  9 14:46 apps

This problem happening too at other folder with user "test" ownership except "test" home directories.
