Well, they do! From what I understand, only UID's are passed around
with NFS. The UID<=>username mapping is done on each host from their
local /etc/passwd. So get them UID's synched up!
If you have more than 2 machines and/ore more than a few users, it might
be easier to setup NIS. It was easy when I followed the instructions in
the Debian nis package.
