The user id have to be the same on both machines if you want to share files
with a rwx------ permission (only owner can read, write, execute, no
permission to others). One way would be to delete user on one machine and
create it new with matching id. Very likely there will be other ways for
matching the user id, too (NIS?).
When you're done, chown -R the files from the user you deleted if you want
to keep them under the new name.
