Thanks to the encouragement of some people on this list, I am using rsync to synchronize two servers: one is a backup to the other in case the primary one fails. By hand, I inserted the names of the users on the primary server into the backup server. So, now all works well.
/usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/
My question is what would happen if the users were not on the backup server?
Is there anyway to have the users automatically inserted into passwd and group?

I should think you'll just get their UID shown instead, eg, 500:500

Don't think so, but you can cut and paste from those files. Or include them in your rsync'd files if the two servers are really similar.
