Well, there are many cases of packages producing some files while they run, which they will not own. E.g., root: rpm -qf /var/log/mysqld.log.4 file /var/log/mysqld.log.4 is not owned by any package root: ls -l /var/log/mysqld.log.4 -rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 0 Aug 7 03:02 /var/log/mysqld.log.4 So I think the UID should stay... until the sysadm removes it.
