Strange users listed by repquota

Hi,

When I execute the command "repquota -a" I get the listing of quota
values for all the users listed in /etc/passwd plus a few other as listed
below:

#307 -- 1156 0 0 67 0 0
#1001 -- 804 0 0 61 0 0
#253 -- 5580 0 0 782 0 0
#37725 -- 2196 0 0 79 0 0
#507 -- 0 0 0 1 0 0
#1000 -- 136 0 0 11 0 0
#516 -- 0 0 0 1 0 0
#6000 -- 100 0 0 9 0 0

The number of these strange "characters" is increasing overtime.
Does anyone know what is at work here?
Thank you.

Re: Strange users listed by repquota

Hello,

these are quota statistics for UIDs that do not have matching users on your
system. Their source are mostly the sources of software you compile on your
machine.
When you untar the archive i.e.

tar -xzf program.tar.gz

it restores original uids and gids of the system the archive has been created
on.

If you want to find these files, issue

find / -nouser


Regards,
Bostjan
