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 <host>
2. net use h: \\\\computer\\A_home
3. ln -s /cygdrive/h /HOMES/A
 --> ok

user B:
1. ssh <host>
2. net use h: \\\\computer\\B_home
 --> System error 85 has occurred.
     The local device name is already in use.

question:
how can more than 26 users (user A, user B, ... user Z) mount their
HOME-directory?
is there a way to solve this problem?

regards,
andrew
