Odd problem. Two 6.4 boxes, and a user's home directory is automounted. /etc/passwd are identical... but once mounted on the other server, if we su - to that user, what we see is an old UID of his, from a while back (years?), while on the home directory server, it's the current, correct UID.
Anyone have ideas?

Please note that this *may* be occurring with one or two other folks, but doesn't affect the dozens and dozens of the rest.

The three of us got together, and it *seems* to be solved: I noticed that the system had been up for 114 days, long before we started changing UIDs; nfsidmap -c was the answer, to clear the cache.
