password > Why not use the UNC path directly instead? because of the following reasons: 1. i want to make the home-directories available in the directory /HOMES: /HOMES/A, /HOMES/B, /HOMES/C, ... and i think it's not possible to link to a UNC path (eg. ln -s <UNC_path> /HOMES/A) is it? 2. not every binary (tool) can handle UNC-paths 3. i would like to set up an environment, where *unix*-scripts+tools do not have to know anything about UNC_paths. regards, andreas -- 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/
