Well, I would say it's the "nobody" bits or maybe the "anonymous" user bits or the "no ID" bits.

Normally you won't see it, because unless you give special options, ls will follow the translator, and so you will never see the node that has a translator set on it. > And I am working on setting the permission bits with chown, and > changing the author bit with chown (chown owner:group:author?), and > will probably implement the chauth (I think thats a better name then > chauthor) program.
