Hi Thanks to all for quick response - Ling , Hartman, Pravez, John
 
Everybody suggested that if the server is not trusted it will work just take care of uid i-e uid should be unique and have to create home dir . If trusted system look for tcb auth file also.
 
Pravez also gave me script which he is using to create home dir
 
# more create_home.sh
#!/usr/bin/sh
#
cat /etc/passwd | while read line
do
   USERNAME=$(echo $line | awk -F : '{print $1}')
   UID=$(echo $line | awk -F : '{print $3}')
   GID=$(echo $line | awk -F : '{print $4}')
   if [ $UID -gt 200 -a $UID -lt 600 ]
   then
      if [ ! -d /home/$USERNAME ]
      then
         GROUPNAME=$(cat /etc/group | grep $GID | awk -F : '{print $1}')
         mkdir /home/$USERNAME
         chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME
         chmod 711 /home/$USERNAME
         cp /etc/skel/.cshrc /home/$USERNAME
         chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME/.cshrc
         cp /etc/skel/.exrc /home/$USERNAME/.exrc
         chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME/.exrc
         cp /etc/skel/.login /home/$USERNAME/.login
         chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME/.login
         cp /etc/skel/.profile /home/$USERNAME/.profile
         chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME /home/$USERNAME/.profile
      else
         echo "User: $USERNAME UID:$UID GID:$GID"
      fi
   fi
done

Hi Admin
 
I have a question
If I will take the user info from etc passwd file (cut a line ) and append the same into passswd file on another server.
 
My question
 
1. what else would I have to do create the same user with same passwd on another server or this will not at all work.
 
Thanks
