In the V1 filesystem, there are a few files are owned by users which are
not in the /etc/passwd or /etc/uids files:
xrwr- 6 2860 169 Mar 7 12:23 /bin/cal
xrwr- 4 7154 61 Jul 21 12:42 /bin/roff
-rwr- 28 304 448 Jun 30 20:31 /usr/lib/fr0.o
-rwr- 28 12222 449 Jun 30 20:37 /usr/lib/filib.a
-rwr- 28 9158 419 Jun 30 20:46 /usr/lib/libf.a
xrwr- 28 3462 491 Jul 1 16:35 /usr/fort/fc1
xrwr- 28 3238 498 Jul 1 16:35 /usr/fort/fc2
xrwr- 28 6840 505 Jul 1 16:35 /usr/fort/fc3
xrwr- 28 4918 519 Jul 1 16:35 /usr/fort/fc4
Now, I know that ken worked on the Fortran compiler, Joe Ossanna (jfo)
wrote roff, and in V6 & V7, ken had uid 6 and dmr had uid 7. So I
propose the following:
- add ken == 6, dmr == 7, jfo == 4 to /etc/passwd and /etc/uids, as
new files in fs/new. Thus jfo will own /bin/roff and ken will own
/bin/cal
- modify the permissions file so that the Fortran files which are
uid 28 become uid 6 == ken.
Sound reasonable?
Cheers,
Warren

I don't mind some files being left "unowned", but if you're fairly
sure that the new ownership assignments reflected reality I'm not
opposed to having them changed in our patched system.

Speaking of assigning some file ownerships to people who were
historcially involved in created Unix back at that point in time, have
we let any of them know about our successful ressurection? Maybe could
get ken or dmr to write a "preface" to the readme file that will
inevitably come into existance once we make together a "turnkey"
distro of this for folks to play with in SIMH or something?

I'm fairly sure they are OK.

Back when we started, I e-mailed Dennis with a question and got an answer.
When we had success, I e-mailed him again, but no reply yet. I'll send
another note, and also ask him if he would write a preface; I'm sure he will.

Warren
