This question deals with weird, undeletable files under CIFS mounts, and an issue
creating drive mounts under ssh. They may be related.
Problem #1 - garbage-chars in filename
Drive W: mounted using MS' "net use" command. I am operating under a remote ssh login.
I am using Cygwin on a Linux CIFS share and get "denied" message when I DO have
correct permissions. This error leaves "weird" filenames in the dir.
$ echo "foo: HJHKH ())" >/cygdrive/w/bashwrite
-bash: /cygdrive/w/bashwrite: Permission denied
copies don't work either:
$ cp /cygdrive/c/expectedfile /cygdrive/w/newwrite
cp: cannot create regular file `/cygdrive/w/newwrite': Permission denied
$ ls -l /cygdrive/w
ls: /cygdrive/w/bashwrite???X: No such file or directory
ls: /cygdrive/w/newwrite????X: No such file or directory
total 1
-rwxr--r-- 1 2000 1001 6 Oct 13 17:24 expectedfile
OK. I'll try it in CMD.EXE (under Cygwin)
Administrator@QA2000TEST ~
$ cmd

Because I could create the file using cmd.exe, this points to my Cygwin setup... but
it might be more complicated than that.
Problem #2:
Drive shares created under ssh session, do not work under graphical console of Windows
2000.
Example:
I ssh into system as Administrator, "net use" to mount a CIFS drive. In the graphical
desktop (also logged in as Administrator), the drive letter is shown but it has a red
X and cannot be used.
If I use Explorer to mount a "new" drive letter to the same UNC path, that mount
behaves properly.
----
This feels like a permissions issue, and I'm wondering if my earlier ssh server issues
(which *seems* resolved) are the cause, or if it's a CIFS issue I only see with
Cygwin (see log above, doesn't happen in CMD.EXE)
ANY insight would be most appreciated!
