I haven't been following the case-insensitivity thread, but is this the problem: You are logging in to Cygwin sshd using publickey auth (i.e. no password), and you cannot access a Samba/Windows share that your user should be able to? If so, the explanation is this: sshd runs as the Windows SYSTEM user (or other user with sufficient rights) to create Windows authentication tokens. These are fully valid on the local machine, *but* if you do not log in with a password, the token does not contain a password (because there is no way to know what it is - it is hashed in the Windows password database). Therefore, no password = unable to authenticate to remote machines, therefore unable to access network shares. There is no elegant solution. Inelegant solutions include: * Only log into sshd with a password. * Put your password into a file only readable by you, and use it with the Windows "net use" command during your .profile, to connect to the network share. Max. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
