group passwd who last (three questions)

I made mkgroup -l > /etc/group and mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd but
some stuff seems wrong:
a) A lot of my files seem to belong to some fellow with UID 544.
I don't have a user 544 on this system. When I make a new file,
the owner becomes Mr. 544, regardless of who I am when I first
touch it. Is this some UN*X thing that I just don't know about?
b) I don't seem to have any groups, regardless of what I do in the
NT user manager:
root@DOLORES bash-2.01$mkgroup -l
None::513:
Everyone::0:
c) who perpetually thinks that no one is logged in. Again, maybe
I'm not using this correctly.
root@DOLORES bash-2.01$who -q
# users=0
root@DOLORES bash-2.01$who -q /var/run/utmp
# users=0
root@DOLORES bash-2.01$who /var/log/wtmp
[snip...more like running last]
root@DOLORES bash-2.01$who -q /var/run/utmp
[snip...like running last, but not formatted]
# users=150
Thanks again, and sorry to clog yer mailboxes!
