    Did you create the users on the different machines explicitly to have
    the same UIDs? Or are you using NIS or some similar distributed name
    service thingy?

    Log in as lilo on each machine and type "id" you want to see the same
    numbers for UID and GID on each system.

    Cheers,
    Simon
