If this is not it, we need 'cygcheck -srv' output, your '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' entries for 'root', and whether you ssh in with password or public key authentication. The former should work. The latter requires the user name and password supplied to "net use" as I mentioned above. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
