You are likely doomed to disappointment. Even if you disable /cygdrive/c,
c:/xxx will probably still work. Perhaps sshd will allow you to specify a
local root. You can link or mount whatever you want to allow access to
from inside there.
I tried "umount -U -c" and "umount -c", but neither worked for me, probably
a local system problem. I was able to delete the information in the
registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2),
but I don't know what other side effects might result so I'm putting it
back right away.
