Other than still being worried that you have copied Solaris files to
Linux, not really.

Outside aips

cd 3rd data area
ls -lt CA*

see how big the CA file that applies to this user number actually is.
AIPS keeps info about how big the file should be in the file but also
knows a bit about how big it actually is.  These data disagree on the
third data area CA file.

Inside aips, try setting

USERID=32000
MCAT

The user number is encoded in the CA file for each entry.  If there is
some problem (e.g. byte swap), then the apparent userid will not match
the aips-login value and so not be listed.
