I checked and there is no way. It is recommended UID/GID be synced regularly on all client machines. NFSv4 requires user names and group names be synced. IDs do not have to match, which makes syncing easier. You should be controlling IDs/names from a central location and syncing as part of a deployment system, and not allowing client machine users to make modifications to those files. Andrew
