I don't pretend to understand how the SMB code in Windows works. It seems to be different on different machines. On my machine `net use' doesn't even bother to print any of the active shares when in a passwordless session: $ net use New connections will not be remembered. There are no entries in the list. But I can access shares from within a passwordless session if I create the sharing inside of the session using `net use'. Well, sometimes. And it's a bit tricky, since it only works when not using drive letters (so I have to use the //server/share path for accessing the share) and only if I specify the full user name including domain or password server respectively: $ net use \\\\server\\share password /user:SERVER_OR_DOMAIN\\corinna *shrug* Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
