Hallo Erich :)

correct, as already mentioned, the uid of the FreeBSD user is 1001. Why
doesn't change chown the user and group, why do I get ---? I'll try it
again, perhaps it was voodoo ;).

Assumed it wasn't voodoo, is there no way to get consistent rwx
permissions for "others" or to get a consistent group "wheel" instead of
"1000"? Why do I get those permissions, owner and group automatically?
And why does it differ to what I get for /dump?

I guess it would be possible to change the id for the existing FreeBSD
user and then to chown /home/user_name to fit to 1000?

Ciao,
Ralf
