What is the difference between mkuser and useradd command in AIX?

The syntax is the only difference. Both accomplish the same thing and if you compare the man pages of these commands, you will see that they are effectively the same text. useradd is the 'standard' UNIX command for adding users, present on solaris, HPUX, etc. mkuser follows aix specific syntax that uses name,value pairs to define the attributes.

Command for Using in sun Blade 2000 Server?

Sun Microsystem's Solaris operating system is Unix. Solairs comes with virtually every command that is found in other modern Unix systems. Each commercial version of Unix (whether AIX, Unicos, Solaris, HP UX or another) usually has one or more vendor specific commands included that do not appear in versions of Unix from other vendors or in open source implementations. It is doubtful that Sun Solaris has 500 commands that do not appear in some form in other versions of Unix, though as I haven't used Sun Solaris in several years, I suppose this is possible, though unlikely. Typically, the vendor specific commands in various historic versions of Unix have numbered fewer than dozen or two and often have been no more than a handful. IBM's AIX is perhaps the exception to this with probably the most prolific proliferation of vendor specific commands of any commercial version of Unix. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that even AIX has 500 vendor specific commands and likely fewer than 100 or so. [JMH]
