My passwd file was corrupted. I had not incremented the user number (element 3 in each record) as I was hand-editing my passwd file (since I'm on W98 and none of the normal security facilities work).

Both `whoami' and `id' report me as being Administrator. I am logged in as a domain user, but I have verified that this happens for a local user as well. I suspect that this isn't normal behavior so I'm wondering if anybody has any clue as to what could be wrong? Thanks in advance for any help on this! - Arcadio -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
