I am experiencing strange behavior when I ftp things from anywhere.
I seem to get the files ok, but it seems that someting is setting
the owner of the ftp'd items to random users.  I'll ftp 3 files (as root)
then ls -l and see a different owner for each file, or a number in
some cases.  Can anybody tell me what is causing this behavior? It's 
becoming quite annoying. 

Thanks,

Aaron
