Default UID's not mapping properly

Hello Everybody
I have a strange thing happening with uid's. People are being authenticated with nis, their local account has the same uid,gid as the nis server. When looking at their home directroy (nf from the local system, all is okay, looking at their home directory from another machine, still okay. When looking at ps aux, only their uid is being shown, not their username like most of the other users. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Use User ID Mapping in exports config file. To be frank you need to use NIS to get same UID for all NFS clients.
