extracting tar with nonexistant users



Hello,

I tried extracting a tar tape on a machine which did not
have the same users as the machine on which the tar tape was
created, it resulted in all the files created being owned by root.

I would have expected that it should have created the files
with the same uid/gids as on the original machine.

Is this normal ?

Thanks 

Lennard
