UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi,

I'm the administrator of a server with SLES10 and when I type "ls -l" I'm getting a machine name where I should be getting the username, for example:

Code:

server:~# ls -l
drwxrwx---+ 3 user-1152$    group1 4096 2009-11-25 12:56 folder
drwxrwx---+ 3 user-1113$    group2 4096 2010-03-10 15:34 file

Code:

server:~# id user-1152$
uid=1910(user-1152$) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),16(dialout),33(video)

But the UID 1910 belongs to the user user-121 for example!

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks!

No ideas?

I think that the plus sign "+" at the end of the directory permissions shows that Access Control List (ACL) controls this directory and the the permissions are an ACL name. Time to read up on ACLs ?

OK, but I'm not talking about the permissions...
I'm talking about the usernames, that are show with an "$" after the name, and some people tell me that it's a machine name..
Time to read the post ?

It's solved!

I checked the /etc/passwd file, and there was a lot of machine users there.
I use LDAP to manager the users, and to solve this I deleted all the machine users in the /etc/passwd

Hope it helps somebody else!

I deduce that these clients were running Microsoft Operating Systems (i.e. not unix) and they needed to be enrolled in /etc/passwd for authentication purposes against an ACL.
