Gene,

Jon's giving you the good oil there. Those vagrant uids you've had
floating about on the various boxes have provided us all with
entertainment for a while now. If the amusement value can't be done
without, then one way to overcome the NFS requirement that uids and gids
match across hosts, is to use "id squashing", I believe. (Though I've
never allowed the chaos which would warrant using it, and it seems like
just papering over cracks, in this case.)

Would it help if we again posted some advice on how to most easily
change the uids on one host to match another?

Erik
