why is 1004 when it should be ascii usernamme ?
what user is 1004 ?, its imho not known in your system
id 1004
1004 is the uid of filter. It shouldn't make a difference since the
ascii name and uid refer to the same account.
It makes all the difference, since "ls -l" shows that the uid does not
in fact resolve to that user name. Perhaps there's a syntax error
earlier in your passwd file? And perhaps the user is missing from the
"shadow" password file...
The user does not exist until "ls -l" is able to correctly identify the
files as belonging to the user.
Hmmm...thank you, Victor. I'll try to sort that out.
