Can you repeat it by doing another restore now that you have the user/groups
set up correctly?

Does OpenBSD run some kind of periodic security job that resets the ownership
of files with unknown UIDs/GIDs?

OK, that should definitely set the UIDs/GIDs of all of the marked files.  Note
however that it won't set them for /directory_to_be_restored or any
directories that Bacula created above this.

bls is a command line program that you run on the Storage Daemon, probably
from /usr/local/sbin.  The syntax is like this:

bls -V MyVolume MyStorage

MyVolume is the name of the volume and MyStorage is the device "name" given in
the bacula-sd.conf.  If you are using tapes, unmount the drive from bconsole.
If you put your bacula-sd.conf in a non-standard place, then you'll need to
pass the -c option as well (see bls -\?).
