Thinking about how the contents of these files affects the behavior of the ftp DIR command caused me to realize that I actually would prefer it if there were some some option available for ftpd which would cause it to display only something like ---- where it currently attempts to print either a user ID name or number or a group ID name or number.
I would be concerned about programs that parse that output choking on a field of only hyphens. It's likely safer to just report the uid and gid as 0 (or 666, or some other made-up number of your choice).
