The subst command creates an illusion that exists only for the user session (usually a desktop session) it is executed in. The ssh session has no desktop session at all, and is its own independent user session. You may be able to work around this by adding the subst command to your .profile, but should not expect subst commands from one user session to be visible in another user session. -- Erik -- "I do not think any of us are truly sane, Caleb.
