exa always shows numeric UIDs/GIDs for non-local users

[eflyon]

OS: RHEL 7.9
exa version: 0.10.1 (from exa-linux-x86_64-musl-v0.10.1.zip on the releases page)

$ exa -lg
.rw-r--r--@ 0 ntp   ntp   24 Jun 12:53 bar
.rw-r--r--@ 0 14485 14034 24 Jun 12:53 baz
$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 ntp   ntp    0 Jun 24 12:53 bar
-rw-r--r--. 1 elyon foobar 0 Jun 24 12:53 baz

It seems that exa doesn't show user names unless the user is defined in /etc/passwd and doesn't show group names unless the group is defined in /etc/groups. This computer is on a network where most users and groups are managed in Active Directory.

I can't test with the glibc version since the system libc is too old (RHEL7 has 2.17, binary needs 2.18).

Thanks for the report! I’ll close this since this problem is already tracked in #671.

Following your report, I investigated for a few hours here and there, so please read the comment I just wrote on #671, if you can help me gather more information about this it would be great.
