One system can not translate user id 0 to the text "root" e.g. if I do a ls -l on a file owned by root, its ownership gets shown as "0 wheel", while another file might be "bin bin". vi also complains it can't put a name on 0 for a restore-copy. I can do a "chown root somefile" the /etc/passwd-file are identical to the /etc/passwd on another system where it works: the userid is 0:0 What am I supposed to look for?
