Running NFS Server on a server with the /home directory shared.
/home/afore ownership afore UID 1000 /home/lilo ownership lilo UID 1002
Client machine (afore) running NFS Client. Mounted remote file system shows
/home/afore ownership afore UID 1000 /home/lilo ownership 1002
Other client machine (lilo) running NFS Client, Mounted remote file system shows
/home/afore ownership lilo UID 1000 /home/lilo ownership 1002
How can I get the ownership of the shared directories to be corret, that is, the same on both client machines and the server?

You need to use a NIS server/client setup or copy over the groups,password,shadow files to the clients. I would use the NIS setup as we do.
NIS is outdated. LDAP is the right way nowadays and in the future. Set up a SLES9 server with LDAP authentication (easiest way to have it is right at installation). Then, the client machines (NLD9), select LDAP authentication and input your server. Then you would use YaST to manage users on the server. Also add in /etc/sysconfig/ldap OPENLDAP_RUN_DB_RECOVER=yes
