You'll have to change the UIDs on one machine, remembering to change the
ownership on all the files as you do it.  Are you asking for a one-time
solution, or a way to keep them in sync?  For the latter, you should
install NIS, via the package of the same name.

(You should check that that's the problem first, of course.)
