Sneakernet ? - ID's

I read the Sneakernet Wiki for folding http://fahwiki.net/index.php/Sneakernetting
The part that confuses me is note #3:
Due to security enhancements in the assignment servers and work servers (2nd half 2009), completed work units must be uploaded using the same System ID and Machine ID as the fah client to which that work unit was assigned. That does not necessarily require the WU to be sent back from the exact same computer and fah installation, but additional System ID and Machine ID tracking and management will be required to assure completed work units can be uploaded, accepted, and credited. I.E. You will need to export the Registry ID to the other computer that will upload the WU, or move the WU back to the exact same location before uploading.
Does this mean my sneakernet machines have to have the same name and passkey as the machine that downloads the work? I'd like to be able to differentiate between them so I can see who is doing the most work.
