User mounts take precedence over system ones. Log in as "dave", then
"mount -fub n:/dave/cygwin /; mount -fub n:/dave/cygwin/bin /usr/bin;
mount -fub n:/dave/cygwin/lib /usr/lib". Repeat the procedure for every
other user that needs to access Cygwin. Also, be aware that ntsec
settings on shared drives are controlled by "smbntsec".
