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.
