I am having similar issue on a Raq3 after the update

Old way was showing dthurman / site1

Now I get 110 / 111

Ftp works fine, no problems just no realname foe site owner or group

I did Gerald's mod to proftpd.conf.

This is what I called Cobalt about and they claim no one is having a problem
from those updates.

We must be the only 2. I feel kind of special now.

Providing group names to the corresponding group
numbers is a function of the /etc/group file.
Likewise provideing the assoucated name related
to the uid is a function of the /etc/password
file. What's the status of those two files? Are
their permission and ownership set properly?
