In theory NFSv4 does the remapping, but I coudn't find it either. It
was far easier and faster to run a "find / -user uid -print" and just fix
up the uids.
It is things like this I miss from netbsd and openbsd. They assigned
UID's to all their packages (eg. rpm's) and it didn't matter which order
one installed things in, the UID's were always the same.

If the airwaves belong to the public why does the public only get 3
non-overlapping WIFI channels?
