I have to refurbish my memory, I guess. Now that 1.7.6 has appeared at my favorite mirror I repeated the test: pc> uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 p01080268 1.7.6(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-16 16:06 i686 Cygwin pc> ls -ls //junk/file ls: cannot access //junk/file: No such file or directory Great, it's fixed. But wait: pc> ls -ls //server/junk 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 lemkemch Domain Users 0 Dec 1 2006 //server/junk I was wrong above, here is a server called 'server'. But it doesn't have a file 'junk'. =20 Doing the equivalent from a DOS box: U:\>dir \\server\junk Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. Michael P.S.
