Yes, I wanted to check the perms on a share, for sys admin work, from
within an ssh session.

We get R/W access to network shares all the time from within cygwin ssh
sessions on windows computers, but for *password*
authenticated ssh sessions.

Now we might be even further OT, but-Thank-you Andrew.

At the risk of getting Corinna angry.. does the approach in
the link above allow one to write to appropriately permissioned
network shares from within a public key authenticated ssh session?
