Start by typing just id

Then explain a bit more: why dsadm is a root account?
There may be a good reason...
If it should not, well since you are still root, you just type:
Code:
chown dsadm:gdstage /home/dsadm

Then depending of your OS you will have to update the line about dsadm in /etc/passwd (different commands exist depending OS...). IF you are using NIS, it will be different also...

Please give OS (and version) and tell us if you are using NIS
