FW: Permission problems using NFS server in Vista

[Volker Drewer-Gutland]

Hi

I'm trying to get the NFS server working in Vista Business Edition with swedish language setup. So far everything is working however creating files is not functioning.
The shared folder is on a FAT32 partition and is visible to cygwin as /cygdrive/z. The client mounts the exported folder with uid and gid 0. 
The client is able to read directories, create directories and read files. But when it comes to creating files something goes wrong:
The files is being created with a size of 0 bytes. The server reports back to the client a NFSERR_INVAL error and following messages are logged to /var/log/nfsd.log:
nfsd[10504] 05/12/108 15:16 auth_clnt.c 352 : Unable to seteuid(1017): Permission denied
nfsd[10504] 05/12/108 15:16 auth_clnt.c 352 : Unable to seteuid(1017): Permission denied
nfsd[10504] 05/12/108 15:16 auth_clnt.c 352 : Unable to seteuid(1017): Permission denied
nfsd[10504] 05/12/108 15:16 auth_clnt.c 352 : Unable to seteuid(1017): Permission denied
nfsd[10504] 05/12/108 15:16 auth_clnt.c 352 : Unable to seteuid(1017): Permission denied

My exports file contains only one line:

/cygdrive/z				(rw,no_root_squash)

and the passwd file contains:

Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1017:513:Guest,U-VOLKERHP\Guest,S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-1017:/home/Guest:/bin/bash

Because a swedish Windows creates a guest account named "Gäst" I created the correponding english account "Guest".

I still seem to miss something but I do not see what. I appreciate any help I get.

Thanks

Volker
