Surely you mean "smbntsec" (lowercase)...

Hmm, I'm intrigued now. Perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.
I have a Samba share that I connect to (from Win2k SP3, Cygwin-1.3.22).
If I run "net use" from a local bash shell, I get
-----CUT-----
$ net use
New connections will be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disconnected E: \\samba.watson.ibm.com\igor
Microsoft Windows Network
Disconnected \\samba.watson.ibm.com\igor
Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
$
-----CUT-----
When I do it from an ssh session, however, I get the following:
-----CUT-----
$ ssh igor AT localhost
igor AT localhost's password:
Last login: Mon Apr 7 21:44:46 2003 from localhost
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
$ net use
New connections will be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unavailable E: \\samba.watson.ibm.com\igor
Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
$
-----CUT-----
Note that the UNC share itself is *not* shown at all, and the drive is
shown as unavailable. Attempting to access "//samba.watson.ibm.com/igor"
results in a "permission denied", as does a "net use..." command with the
correct credentials. The state of the drive (i.e., connected vs.
disconnected) on the main desktop is irrelevant, as is the setting of
"smbntsec" (normally off for me). Seems my situation is very similar to
Richard's. Any ideas?
