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.
