Hello:

I've been able to replicate this on two separate machines, one with a
clean install of 4.10 and one with an in-production upgrade from 4.7
to 4.10.  In both cases it appears that using the 'sudo' command for
any purpose, including downloading of files, moving of files, adding
of users, etc. will sometimes fail due to the incorrect application
of the UID and GID.=20

As an example, I 'sudo wget http://whatever' and 'sudo tar -zxvf' the
file and it will show up with a numeric UID/GID that doesn't match
anything in the password file.  If I 'su root' and do the same
commands, everything works fine.

Has anyone seen this and, if so, do you know of a workaround or fix?

Thanks,

Mike
