Well, even someone parading around as root wouldn't have much purpose
in changing the ownership of files to User 30005 (no ID) or in changing
the group ownership to random gid's. Very obvious and not good for hacking.
Also, the ownership changed to strange things when OTHERS touched their
files. There was definitely a malfunction on the system level.
