Consistent UIDs may solve file transfer issues
It does indeed matter.
let's sort out different cases here
just to avoid incorrect inferences being made here...
Thanks!
Thanks for the clearest description of the issue I have ever seen.
In your case 2b
if I understand you, you have two machines A, B which share files via, say, NFS, and you have a different UID on each machine. First, you work from machine A, and create a file F on machine B using UID-A (the file is owned by UID-A). Then later on, you work from machine B and try to access F using UID-B, and fail. Is that what you meant ?

In your case 2b
Yes, that is what I meant. Except that I have not tried it out yet. I would just like to know whether I will have problems when I try to do this.
In your case 2b
If your experience is like mine, you will. We share files like that all the time, and went to constant uid/gid long ago in response to exactly that problem.
