AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Lest you flood my mailbox, Casper Dik got in first with the answer.

>bash# ls -lgd .
>drwxr-xr-x 6 star 512 Jul 27 11:42 .

Under Solaris 2, "ls -lg" means SUPPRESS the group ownership. Hence (having
group name same as user name) I read the "6" as Userid and "star" as group ID.
Wrong! 6 is #links, "star" is user name, group name suppressed.
