UID error while adding dialogue instance

Hi,

Last night we had an issue with this server where we were adding application servers as dialogue instances and it was throwing us the errors, viz changue uid of the user zb5adm as it doesn't match with zb1adm.

As on single host there were many installations we were trying to figure out the relationship between zb5adm and zb1adm..at last we figured out that someone has compied profiles from zb1 to zb5 in /sapmnt/ZB5/profile directory and system was confused to read multiple profiles in one profile directory.

At the OS level the SAP application can only see uid and not the usernames, so issue was resolved by removing the redundant ZB1 profiles from /sapmnt/ZB5/profile directory.
