LDAP non-unique uidNumber

[Novensiles divi Flamen]

I've got openldap running perfectly with everything authenticating against it. 
Currently there are only 6 people entries in it while I'm testing. Now it 
comes time for a full migration I've hit a problem - all the computers were 
initially set up with the local user in passwd. Most of their uid numbers are 
1000. This works fine as long as they only log in to their own computer, but 
will create problems when they log into a different computer - which happens 
often enough to be relevant.
Home dir ownership gets set to the username of the 'local' 1000 user, giving 
the 'visiting' user full permissions to the local users home dir - even 
though they start in their own home dir.
Changing the uidNumber in LDAP means when the user logs in they can't use 
their own home dir. 
I'm sure there is something relatively simple I'm missing - has anyone been 
through this before who can provide insight?
