I've just been setting up a new server with RHEL 3, samba 3 with LDAP authentication and using the smbldap-tools ver. 0.8.4. I've finally got things working, but just noticed something odd.

I have so far only created myself as a user, with uid=1000 and gid=513.

As root, I obtained the latest gzip file for squirrelmail and untar'd it. The odd thing is that the directory created by un-taring this file is owned as follows:

drwxr-sr-x 16 gurley 1000 4096 Oct 1 2003 squirrelmail-1.4.2

I tried unzipping other random gz files and find that they acquire random ownerships above 1000, instead of the expected root.root!

What's going on? Have I messed something up?
