You replace whatever Mutant UNIX From Hell you're running with one that
offers an "ls" that's either more like vanilla S5 or vanilla 4.xBSD than
the one you have, and:

	1) if it's more like vanilla S5, just do "ls -l", and get the
	   owner and group *regardless* of the UID under which it's
	   running;

	2) if it's more like vanilla 4.xBSD, just do "ls -lg", and get
	   the owner and group *regardless* of the UID under which it's
	   running.
