When I do an 'ls -al' (or a getfacl) on some files, I get:
owner/group = ???????/???????, implying that the numeric uid/gid are
not found in the passwd/group file.

This occurs even though I ran: 
	 mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd
	 mkgroup --local > /etc/group

The /owner and /primary group are displayed in subinacl (often as
'trustedinstaller'). Note that 'trustedinstaller' doesn't appear in my
passwd or group files.

So, question is why doesn't 'ls -al' and 'getfacl' give a more
'human readable' answer than '???????' even if trustedinstaller is a
bogus name. Or should I just think of ?????? as cygwin for
trustedinstaller?

---------------------------------------------------
For example:
$ ls -al /c/Window/notepad.exe
-rwxrwx---+ 4 ???????? ???????? 193536 2009-07-13 21:39 /c/Windows/notepad.exe

$ ls -aln /c/Window/notepad.exe
-rwxrwx---+ 4 4294967295 4294967295 193536 2009-07-13 21:39 /c/Windows/notepad.exe

$]subinacl /noverbose /nostatistic /fileC:\\Windows\\notepad.exe /display
