I wrote the article on stunnel encryption. NFSv3 was strictly numeric uid/gid, but this is not the case with NFSv4. It is still best to keep uid/gid values synchronized, but there are idmapd processes that negotiate permissions between client and server. Examine the output of "man idmapd.conf" for details. It even does LDAP.
