Hello,


I woke up this morning and one of my machines is doing something VERY
strange. root sees the user's files as owned by them:


<bigger>total 13

but if I go in under the users login they see:

Notice the user # and not the name, also for group.


Please, anyone, what is causing this? This is messing something else up
on the system.
