Re: multi-user environment: mounting a lot of shares via ssh
Do you want a separate home directory from the one specified in /etc/passwd? You could always 'mount -fsb //computer/A_home /A_home'...

multi-user environment: mounting a lot of shares via ssh
hi while 'shares' can be mounted in a ssh session via 'net use' by a single user, it seems that in a multi-user environment, the users have to make sure, that they do not re-use already mapped drive letters. consider the following example: user A: 1. ssh 2. net use h: computer\\A_home 3. ln -s /cygdrive/h /HOMES/A --> ok user B: 1. ssh 2. net use h: computer\\B_home --> System error 85 has occurred.
