Now when I am myself and run the bash shell "id -un" returns administrator instead of "ps" with predictable results. I did set HOME environment variables correctly so at least I am in my own directory. Where does id get its idea as to who the current user is? I did notice that /etc/passwd contains entries for all manner of accounts, but not mine. What's the right process to fix this?
