Is it possible to setup nfs (server+clients) without syncing uid's? Is it
possible to do this without having to setup nfs4+kerberos? If so, how?

You didn't mention the full context of what you're trying to do. Is
this for a simple home network or corporate environment? You could
probably make everything you're trying to share world RW to work
around the UID/GID sync, but it obviously would not be secure at all.

Say small corporate. I was hoping to be able to use uid/gid mapping, which
seems to be part of nfs4?

I haven't gotten that working, although I had limited time to look at the
problem. I have one machine with uid issues, so I would like to have a better
fix than a series of one time hacks. On the other hand, I have a bunch of other
machines which have uid match and take most of my time, so uid fixing has
dropped to my "would be nice" list.

I haven't tried this myself but this may be what you're looking for :

[Translation]
Method = nsswitch

( in idmapd.conf )

It isn't documented in the man pages for CentOS 5.5 ( RHEL 5.5 ) but it showed
up in bugzilla under fedora.
