After reading the docs, I get the impression that I should use a idmap
backend to have consistent uid's. Am I correct?


Not so much, you're on the right path tho. The idmap is primarily to give a mapping between unix uids and windows SIDs when the users come from an AD system or something of that nature. Basically if you don't have real unix users you use winbind and idmap to get it done... if I understand correctly. I don't use either.

I don't have an LDAP server, and I'd prefer not to add another service
to the chain, so I recompiled samba with


That's essentially what you need to do unfortunately. You need to store the mapping someplace globally accessable for both machines to read it. I see the light bulb going off in your head WRT storing the idmap file on an nfs mount or some other shared filesystem, don't do it, it won't work.
