$ cat /etc/passwd
well I tried that and it was interesting , but it did not have any 501 users
in the cat output. Am I missing something?
What's the user id (UID) for the user your normally use? You must have created
a new user than you were using before, or used a filesystem from a previous
install of Linux that has a differnet list of user id's.
The way to fix it is to look at /etc/passwd and /etc/group find out what user &
group you wish to own the files/directories, then do something like this:
su
cd /home
chown -r <user>:<group> <name of directory>
i.e. chown -r archer:users archer
FYI: Linux/Unix will identify owners/groups by the ID number if it doesn't
have a match in the passwd/group files. That's probably why you're seeing the
501.
