Synchronize the user folder between Macs via FileVault
Authored by: JadeNB on Jun 19, '06 07:23:35AM

It is possible to change your UID without creating lots of spurious users. You can imagine the advantage of this if you are trying to sync with a machine on which your UID is five digits. Probably the easiest way to do this is to go to /users/[yourusername] in /Applications/Utilities/NetInfo Manager.app and simply change the UID field there. (Of course, you'll want to make sure afterwards you chown all your files to the new UID so that you still own them.)
