You can actually:
1. edit the files manually and update the ODM database by command
2. configure AIX v3.x to use only the files and not the ODM.

Ok, as a (currently) AIX deprived person, might I
ask WTH is SMIT please?
SMIT = System Management Integration Tool
Basically a menu based system to do Unix sysadmin type things without
editing the usual Unix files. First major problem for any new AIX sysadmin
who had Unix experience - DO NOT EDIT THE FILES - you _must_ use SMIT. If
you edit the files things work until the next reboot when most
configuration files get recreated out of the ODM (Object Data something
mumble).
