Curiously a file seems to have two different owners. Depends on the account which list the file. If I run a cmd as a normal user and list file: C:\>ls -lh / drwxrwx---+ 1 ???????? Administrators 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin C:\>ls -lhn / drwxrwx---+ 1 4294967295 544 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin If I run a cmd as administrator and list file: C:\>ls -lh / drwxrwx---+ 1 Backup Administrators 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin C:\>ls -lhn / drwxrwx---+ 1 1033 544 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin I haven't any problem because of this behaviour but I want understand what happens their.
