[LFN22155902] Bugreport: coreutils-6.5 ls -l and uid lookup failure

[Nicholas Stallard]

Hello,

I think I may have found a bug in the current ls implementation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the ls from coreutils 6.4:

$ /tmp/ls --version | head -1
ls (GNU coreutils) 6.4

$ /tmp/ls -ld js
drwxrwxr-x 4 182 users 512 Aug 24 15:25 js


The user js is not known on my system, hence
the display of the numeric uid.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the ls from coreutils 6.5 :

$ ls --version | head -1
ls (GNU coreutils) 6.5

$ ls -ld js
drwxrwxr-x 4  users 512 Aug 24 15:25 js


As you can see, the uid is omitted from the output....


Cu, Nicholas
