Tar permissions transfer across machines - Ask Ubuntu


i have files/folders on server a, , users own them root , user1. if pack them tar file , move them server b, permissions transfer correctly server b if have 2 users named root , user1 on server well?

only if server : root , server b : root, , server : user1 , server b : user1 have same uids (the 3rd field in /etc/passwd entry)

tar not store username, uid. uids converted usernames locally, convenience of humans.
