Is there _any_ way around the need to keep the user IDs matched on NFS clients and servers?
I can argue that the IDs don't have to be synchronized to use NFS. You just end up with unexpected complications from different IDs on different systems.
NFS will quite happily work with dissimilar IDs if you're using "other" permission to access everything. }:-)
I had a friend & colleague that used a feature of (I think) Webmin to synchronize IDs between machines. Purportedly it had an ability to edit the proper files to change IDs for accounts -and- walk the system chowning and chgrping things to reflect the change.
