Re: synchronization uid and gid in the local network

2) Use find:
find STARTDIR -uid OLDUID -print0 | xargs -0 chown YOURNAME
find STARTDIR -gid OLDGID -print0 | xargs -0 chgrp YOURGROUP
3) No. If you connect as PETER (ssh PETER@computer1) when you will be PETER . It doesn`t matter whoareyou at computer2.
