I am trying to use samba to mount my home directory on my wife's OS X

numerical uid's as they have on the Mac. Since my uid on her machine
is the same as her uid on this machine, this means that they all show
up as owned by her.

Change her UID and do a chown -R over her /home/username?


That would be possible, but it shouldn't be necessary. I expect it
would require changing both of our uid's; in addition the uid's are
different between her Mac and our Mac notebook and I'm not clear how to
choose uid's on OS X.
