Even if you disable /cygdrive/c, c:/xxx will probably still work. Perhaps sshd will allow you to specify a local root. You can link or mount whatever you want to allow access to from inside there. I tried "umount -U -c" and "umount -c", but neither worked for me, probably a local system problem. I was able to delete the information in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2), but I don't know what other side effects might result so I'm putting it back right away. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.htm Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
