Linux networking/users question

[FuzzyBee]

I'm currently running a 3-linux network, soon to be 4- or 5- systems (mainly MythTV).

I'm able to share the drives I need shared using NFS, and I have my r/w needs taken care of. What I need to be able to do, though, is have my user IDs the same across systems. For instance, MythTV runs as user myth on each of those boxes. If I create a file from my client box on a server NFS drive, though, it will show up (from the server side) as a different user; I'd like it to show up as owned by "myth" on that box, too. What's the easiest / most efficient way to sync these UIDs?

Make them the same in the /etc/passwd file.

Instead of letting (your current user admin tool) create your accounts, user 'useradd' instead. iirc, -u will specify the userid.

man useradd - if not.
