man 5 exports (at least my localized german version) lists the map_daemon
option, which allows mapping of UIDs / GIDs between server and client. This
needs the rpc.ugidd to be running on server side.
I never did this, I don't even know where to get rpc.ugidd from, and I'm
pretty sure it won't work at all with opensolaris, but at least with linux
it should be possible then, theoretically.
