You cannot.
The (eventual) mkuser command will not create IDs with the same UID. Quoting the mkuser man page:
Note
ID collision detection in the target registry is always enforced regardless of the dist_uniqid system attribute.
Using either smitty or the command-line will land you in the same situation.
As for changing a user's UID, you would use the chuser command or smitty (which then calls chuser), but it uses the same restriction as mkuser does:
However, when the ID is changed using the chuser command, ID collision checking is also controlled by the dist_uniqid attribute in the usw stanza of the /etc/security/login.cfg file. The behavior of ID collision control is the same as that described for the mkuser command.
For extra fun, check out the command that smitty runs during a User change (smitty chuser):
x()
if [ $# -ge 2 ]
then
for i in "$@"
do
spam="$spam "$i""
done
eval chuser $spam
fi
x id='1234' username

That code is... not good. Why not justchuser "$@"? Or does it rely onspamnot getting reset?

@K That structure is one that a lot of smitty menus use, so I suspect the author copy/pasted a different one and replaced the guts for thechuserflags, none of which need any special handling. The smitty menu generates that code based on user input in the menu. It does at least quote the data going into it (twice), but I was amused at the author's choice for the variable's name.
