Well, you set the permissions on the archive file, you then extracted files from the archive. Setting the permissions on the archive file does not particularly set permissions on the files within the archive. If you paint an envelope green, do the contents of the envelope become green as well? User 11171 is probably the UID of the owner of the file on the computer where it was originally archived. If you do not have an entry in /etc/passwd for 11171, then the system has to display the UID instead of the user name. -- "Where's the robot to pat you on the back?"
