I am trying to export nfs shares from the linux box to a mac and vice-versa. The trouble is that. although there are users on each box with the same name, they have different numeric user IDs. For instance user robert on the linux box has userid 1000 but on the mac robert has userid 502. This means that users on one machine can't write to their home directories on the other machine.
Is there any facility within nfs to map users to other userids (beyond that needed for root-squashing)? Or failing that, is there a way to change the user ids on one of the machines without making a big mess?
