I just got Moonfish going last night for the first time, using
my Linux apps box as client. My apps box has two accounts: root,
with uid 0 (of course), and my non-root login, with a uid of 1000.
I was logged in as root. I noticed that both accounts have a gid
of 100, so I set Moonfish for a gid of 100, and I got access
straight away. This is Moonfish version 1.07, and to set the uid
and gid, click Select on the icon bar icon, select the export,
click Edit, then the Options... button of the export.

Encouraging that it can be got to work. Mine is version 1.08, which
does not have this option to change the uid, but I can edit the
Moonfish choices in !Boot.

1.08 does have the option.

Not sure I entirely understand this uid business. The one for my
personal login in my Mandrival Linux box is 500 (as is gid). It is my
understanding that this is the default. But is it the same when the
RPC is acting as server?

I have tried setting the uid in Moonfish to 500, 100 and zero, in each
case permission is denied 'by the server', i.e. the RISC PC, whether I
try to mount the RPC file in user mode or as root from the Linux
machine.

If the uid and gid are both 500 on the client, then set both of them to
the same on the server.
Alternatively, do not specify the uid and gid (leave the icons empty in
the GUI) and Moonfish will always reply using the uid and gid that the
client is requesting with.

The other thing to check is that you have the "Allow connections from"
set to a suitable address, or * if you want access from any IP address.
