Peter, you must be using a different ls than the rest of us.  ls -l 
under System V/386 gives you both the user id and group id regardless
of who you are.  

     from ls(1) - Unix System V/386

     -l   List in long format, giving mode, number of links, owner, group,
          size in bytes, and time of last modification for each file.
          If the file is a special file, the size field will instead
          contain the major and minor device numbers rather than size.

     -o   Same as -l except that group is not printed.

     -g   Same as -l except that owner is not printed.

This is true of ls(1) on both the System V/386 and standard 
System V as distributed on AT&T 3B2 machines.  You must be confusing 
Unix behavior with Xenix behavior, and they are not the same.
