I've got some troubles with a tar file that holds a backup. It was provided by our hosting provider and contains some strange file permissions.
When viewing with
tar tvf example.tar
I only get the symbolic owner information of each file (which do not match existing users in /etc/passwd). Now I want to investigate whether the numerical values, which should also be stored inside the tar, hold the correct values. Is there a convenient way to do so?
thx
