At SR10.2 and later, the program /systest/ssr_util/acluid will display the
ACL of a file and the UIDs corresponding to those ACL's.

Consider the following example:

% acluid .
Acl for .:
3F041A5A.2000B623 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 pcc.%.%
00000000.00000000 00800040.00000000 00000000.00000000 %.none.%
00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 14E54ABB.60000021 %.%.r_d
00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 %.%.%
306F09C5.10004108 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 weber_w.%.%

This says that the UID of person pcc = 3f041a5a.2000b623
and the UID of '%' = 0.0

So, if you've got a file owned by someone who was (accidentally or otherwise)
deleted from the registry, you can find the UID and then ADOPT that UID
into the person database.  The documetation for ADOPT is straight-forward (at
least is was to me).
