UID - User id
GID - Group id
We can find out using sample command fire @ $ promoit "id" you will user id & group id.
e. g step 1 : $ id ---> O/p get display immediately
uid=232(vijay) gid=1(staff)
This is actually string in the /etc/password user id = 232 and group = 1 user home directory = :/users/vijay:/usr/ and shell is ksh
vijay:!:232:1:Vijay:/users/vijay:/usr/bin/ksh |
