[ec2] Keeping uids in sync

[Jeremy Edberg]

In our case, the postgres user is part of our base AMI, so it has the
same UID across all machines.  In your particular case, if it is all
possible, the quickest solution would be to add the postgres user to
your AMI, and then restart with that new AMI.

I suppose if I had to add new users on a regular basis, I would use
something like LDAP to keep them all in sync.
