Forgive me. I'm full of cough syrup and misread your last post. I see that you were saying it works fine with W2K and not XP. For some reason I read that as it works fine with XP now. My apologies. There's nothing inherently different going on for pubkey authentication under XP vs W2K. Why the Hummingbird NFS shares show up at all in the W2K case is indeed a mystery. For sshd run as a service via the SYSTEM user, as far as Windows authentication is concerned, SYSTEM is the current user for the ssh session. SYSTEM does not have access to restricted shares so in general, you shouldn't be able to see them in the ssh session. If you can see NFS shares but not Windows (SAMBA) restricted shares on Win2K, then this sounds like a Hummingbird thing to me. In that case, as I mentioned before, I'd recommend you talk to Hummingbird. If you can see Windows shares there, that's a different story. If the problem is the former, then too much discussion of it on this list is off-topic (though we're certainly interested in hearing the results and/or solutions). The talk list is a place where those interested could continue to discuss it, though I expect discussion isn't what's needed. ;-) If the problem is actually the latter, well then that's on-topic here since it involves Cygwin and Windows, which everybody here has.
