SHOW.  US.

Why the hell do you CONTINUE to make these vague statements with NO
demonstration of what the actual problem is?

It would take you FIVE SECONDS to paste the offending results from your
terminal to the email you're already writing.

Anyway, if you're seeing "1000" instead of "gene" in the output of some
command such as "ls -ld ~" then it's probably your /etc/passwd file being
broken in some way.  Permissions on the file.  Contents of the file.
Permissions on the directories leading up to the file (/ and /etc).
One of those things.

Whatever it is, fix it.

You're a goddamned 20+ year Linux veteran.  You should be able to handle
something as ridiculously simple as this.
