Which only reveals that your setup is completely broken if you
need to resort to something like this, UID/GID need to be
side-wide equal. You can use mapping with NFS, but I'd suggest to
fix the broken setup in the first place.

BTW
The message you are replying is nearly 2 month old, it's unlikely
the OP will still follow the thread. Is there any special reason
for doing so? Since there seem to be quite a few of those old
messages you are replying?
