tar file help and uid guid?
when I executed tar xvf jre-7u7-soloris-i586.tar.gz it created the last entry with user as 10 and group as 143. When I execute the cd to the jrel directory I get directory not found error. Not sure why this is happening. I am in the root account just trying to install Java Enterprise.


Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47524664 Sep 25 11:23 jre-7u7solaris i586.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x   6 10       143           12 Aug 29 01:50 jre1.7.0_07

so why is the uid set 6 and what does that mean and why is guid set to 143.
