Permissions gone bad?

	I noticed this in the Get Info window for my files/apps/whatever. Under Ownership & Permissions, I do not see my admin name. Instead, I see a funny name with some Chinese character? My admin name (which I run as a normal user daily) is andretan, and I have no idea why it has become like that. My Internation preferences in System Prefs panel is ok though. I've verified and repaired my Permissions using Disk Utility and Oynx, but no go. Am on iBook 700, OS 10.2.8 Please advise! Thanks (Last edited by andretan; Oct 3, 2003 at 05:25 AM. )
