Thank you for the answer. I got several different suggestions:

1. Some people suggest "admintool" -- you can NOT use admintool to change UID

2. Some people suggest "vipw" -- VIPW work under SOLARIS 2.5 and 2.5.1, But NOT on 2.6.

3. Some people suggest following way whicj is what I like:

        1. edit /etc/passwd to change UID
        2. use find / -usr <old uid> -exec chown <new uid> {} \;
