Hi. I'm having trouble mapping network drives from a Samba server when I login to my machine using the Cygwin SSH daemon and am hoping it may be something people here have seen before.
I am able to map Samba shares with no problem from the Windows Explorer, or a Cygwin bash shell started from my desktop, but when I login remotely via ssh and try and mount something with "NET USE", I end up getting the error message: System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. I think I have traced the problem to the fact that "NET USE" is not passing along the correct credentials to the Samba server, even if I pass it the /USER:username argument: NET USE S: '\\server\share' password /USER:user (single quotes to keep the backslashes from being treated as escape chars by cygwin bash.exe). I am guessing the root of the problem is the SSH service being run as the "Local System" account and some permissioning on the XP side, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Client = Windows XP SP1, Cygwin 1.3.13(0.62/3/2), OpenSSH 3.4p1 Server = Debian unstable, Samba version "2.999+3.0.alpha20-4" Any help appreciated, forwarded message including some Samba log info is below. ----- Forwarded message from Caleb Epstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2002 13:49:06 -0500 From: Caleb Epstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Accessing network shares under sshd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, Dec 03, 2002 at 11:49:21AM -0500, Ben Voigt wrote: > Can you open a cmd.exe session from within ssh?

If so, you can use the cygwin mount command to Nope, I get the same old errors - "net use" shows any mapped drives to be "Unavailable" and I get an "Access denied" error if I try to map a new drive. > create mount points now that the drive letters are mapped.

I've managed to get a little further on this by enablign some debugging messages on the server side, which is Samba. I probably should have mentioned this before as it mayh ave some bearing on the problem. Anyway, I found that when I try to mapa network drive under ssh, even if I use the /USER: flag on "net use", the credentials thet get passed along to Samba are not carrying any user name.
