Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support Accidentally Changed File Ownership to Include a "Comment" [AIX] Post 302711445 by Scott on Saturday 6th of October 2012 10:47:39 AM

Yes, I had a feeling some of the users would need to be re-instated, is why they were tentatively removed.

Just tested on Linux (using RHEL) and it handles it quite differently.

On Linux with only the "commented-out" line in /etc/passwd, ls -l shows me the UID, as I'd expected. If then I add the user back by copying the line and removing the comment, ls shows the username (regardless of whether I put the new entry before or after the commented-out one).
