I have an Alpha server with an FTP server on it. Users directories are NFS mounted from a FreeBSD server. Users ftping to the alpha and placing file in their use directories get a USER ID of some huge number. I have created a test use by manualy add them to the master.passwd file on the FreeBSD server and doing a chsh to have the passwd files rebuild. But for some reason I didn't get an error. But when I try and do a chown to the newly added usr's directory from the FreeBSD box it gived me an "chown: donny: illegal user name" error. Thank inadvance for any help.
