showing UID

[s3kk3y]

I just updated to cp 6 and now i notice that the files and folders are showing the numeric UID instead of the name of the user as the owner.

How can i change it back to show the username instead of the number?

You can use

chown username:groupname *

or to do subdirectories as well

chown -R username:groupname *

Thanks dg, but i know i can chown files.

This is server-wide. All the users files are owned by a number instead of a name.

Could it be a setting with WHM?

What do you mean exactly? When listing the files from shell with ls? When browsing your directories from an FTP client?

Which FTP server are you using, proftpd or pureftpd?

Have you checked: WHM > Edit Setup > Minimum Uid - to make sure it is blank?

Juanra:

I recently changed from proftpd to pureftpd. Could this be the cause?

It could very well be, since pureftpd has a --without-usernames config option to hide user and group names in directory listings. But I'm not using pureftpd myself so I don't really know. Other users of pureftpd should see the same thing if that's the case.
