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.
