The ssh session has no desktop session at all, and is its own independent user session. You may be able to work around this by adding the subst command to your .profile, but should not expect subst commands from one user session to be visible in another user session. -- Erik -- "I do not think any of us are truly sane, Caleb.

Renaming a socket file adds ".lnk" to the name
The attached test case creates a socket file /tmp/mysocket and tries to rename
it to /tmp/newsocket. But the new name is actually /tmp/newsocket.lnk:
$ gcc -o rename_socket rename_socket.c
$ ./rename_socket.exe
$ ls -F /tmp/newsocket*
/tmp/newsocket.lnk=
I think I have a simple fix, which I'll send to cygwin-patches shortly.

Is the Mercurial package still maintained?
Hi. Upstream is at v5.0.2. The cygwin repo has been at 4.3.2 for almost two years now, missing not only a lot of features but also the security fixes in 4.7.2 and 4.9. Is a new package blocked waiting on other support to be completed? Or is it simply orphaned and waiting for a new maintainer or NMU? -- 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

Problems seeing/mounting partitions from ssh
I have one real (c:) and three virtual (d:, e:, f:) partitions on my Windows 10 box The virtual partitions are created at login by Windows tasks using the 'subst' command. With an empty /etc/fstab, at first this all appears to work fine: > mount C:/C64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/C64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/C64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) E: on /cygdrive/e type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) F: on /cygdrive/f type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) > mount -m none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0 > ls /cygdrive c/ d/ e/ f/ > ls /cygdrive/f | wc -l 31 But if I come in to this machine via ssh (public key or password), the virtual partitions are lost: > mount C:/C64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/C64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/C64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) > ls /cygdrive c/ The problem seems to arise because the subst commands aren't being run: > cmd /c subst [nothing] although they are Triggered by "At log on of [me]". Checking the Task Scheduler indeed shows them run at my original Windows login, but not when I ssh in... It appears that ssh login is not a Windows login -- what am I missing? ht -- Henry S.

Wild card to address drives
I have none / cygdrive binary 0 0 as the only line in the file /etc/fstab to allow for example $ ls /h/config.sys instead of the long-hand $ ls /cygdrive/h/config.sys In Linux I can type something like ls /?/ -Ax as a wild card to address ALL drives, but this does not work in Cygwin. Is there a wild card syntax that would? Thank you.
