Err. Well. User error :-P I don't know exactly what I did wrong, but I suspect that the problems I saw might have partly been due to "Simple File Sharing" being *off* on one of the machines and *on* on the other. Having started again from scratch and ensuring Simple File Sharing is *off*, with the mount table
$ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /mnt/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) T: on /mnt/t type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) and just using normal svn file commands such as $ svn co file:///mnt/t/shared/svn/test . it appears to be working perfectly on both machines, no fiddling with users, passwd files, or anything else required. Thanks anyway, Larry, I appreciate the time you put in to help. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
