There's your answer. Make the userids the same - that's standard procedure.
Meaning standard Linux procedure. On SVR4, OS/9, Solaris, and I am sure others, a map between UID/GID can be done. Making these the same in a large environment is not nice. But I agree, it is the only solution available on Linux. At least as far as I know.
Oh linux has had ugidd for awhile, I remember seeing it on slackware in 1994. I suppose something like that could be used, but I thought it was sort of a hack, and prefer to just use standardized uids. It's not rocket science, but perhaps a bit tedious to switch a uid, it's just a matter of editing the password/shadow files, and chown -R on the users files.
