Hello everyone,
I have an nfs server running over cygwin on a XP-Pro box and a SUSE linux
machine that needs to access 
certain disks on the XP box. I set the uids, and gids on the cygwin machine
to match those on the linux
machine for users that need access (and made sure all others do not map). I
am able to mount the 
XP nfs shares from the linux machine, and the owner, group, and permissions
map correctly insofar as 'ls'
indicates. However, it appears that some users can write to areas of the XP
that they should not be able to
and vice versa. Interestingly, all files created by users are automatically
owned by root and are become part
of the users group. Root maps to an administrator account on the XP machine
via /etc/passwd in cygwin. I also
tried using a map_static flag in the exports directory, but that had no
effect.

I'm curious, has anybody has ever encountered this sort of thing before?
Anyone have an idea how
to resolve this?

Thanks for any help.
