<p>I bet if you check /etc/passwd, you'll find that those numbers
don't
<br>correspond to any actual user ids. What ls does when the
numeric id
<br>doesn't belong to any user, is to simply show the number. There's
a
<br>good chance that something has garbaged /etc/passwd.
This can be a
<br>bit of a problem ...
<p>Try "ls -l /etc/passwd*" and see if you have any backup copies.
<p>(I wonder how linux handles this? I'm not sure I want to
experiment
<br>with it on any machine that is being used.)
