So, get the username...

That's what I was after - thanks.
Seems odd that there isn't a non-truncated ls view, and that su doesn't work with a UID, though.
I don't appear to be able to get ls to not show the full username... I find ps will truncate, but ls seems to "just work"... (I've just checked against a 13 char long username...).
Just discovered that although I don't have the rights to rm the files, I do have the rights to chown them, which is another (easier, now I find it!) way around...
Sounds "interesting", I can only assume that you own the parent directory for them.
Thanks,
