        Subject: weird permission display

files in my home directory show my UID rather than my username.

root at ncws1en0 in /home/biermans > ls -l .sh_history
-rw------- 1 209 system 218 Mar 11 14:55 .sh_history
root at ncws1en0 in /home/biermans > chown biermans .sh_history
root at ncws1en0 in /home/biermans > ls -l .sh_history
-rw------- 1 209 system 218 Mar 11 14:55 .sh_history
root at ncws1en0 in /home/biermans > grep 209 /etc/passwd
biermans:*:209:0:System Administrator:/home/biermans:/usr/bin/ksh
root at ncws1en0 in /home/biermans > grep biermans /etc/passwd
biermans:*:209:0:System Administrator:/home/biermans:/usr/bin/ksh
root at ncws1en0 in /home/biermans >
