Bad NFS Permissions on a Share - CentOS 6.2

I created an NFS share on CentOS 6.2 and for the most part it works great. I share a file out from ServerA to ServerB and I can view them on both. The only problem is that on ServerB, the permissions are screwed up and the file is read-only, even if I create the file on ServerB. Here is what I see when I run ls -al on the share:

ServerB:
-rw-r--r--. 1 4294967294 4294967294 7 Sep 11 07:41 test2.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 4294967294 4294967294 7 Sep 11 07:56 test3.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 4294967294 4294967294 7 Sep 11 07:49 test.html

ServerA:
-rw-r--r--. 1 nfsnobody nfsnobody 7 Sep 11 07:41 test2.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 nfsnobody nfsnobody 7 Sep 11 07:56 test3.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 nfsnobody nfsnobody 7 Sep 11 07:49 test.html

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Also - my etc/exports file shows "/var/share *(rw,sync,all_squash)" and I restarted NFS service afterwards.

Thank you for your post. So I got the permissions to look correct with changing the Domain in the config file /etc/idmapd.conf, but I still get permission denied when trying to edit a file on ServerA that was created on ServerB. Am I not supossed to be able to edit any files inside the share on a different server?

It really does depend on the settings. What does

mount

Open in new window

show on each server?

Mount on Server that's shared out:
(nothing regarding the share)

Mount on client server:
server.domain:/var/shared on /var/shared type nfs (rw,hard,vers=4,addr=192.168.1.112,clientaddr=192.168.1.113)

Nothing needs to be mounted from the server to the client, right? Only the client to the server?
