I don't see my mount points disappear when I :close my bash session. I'm running WinNT Server 4.0 Service :Pack 3. :What variant of NT are you running, exactly? This person should probably also check whether or not he/she has permission to write to the appropriate part of the registry. I would assume yes if the mounts exist once created, so this person would also need to check what's happening with the registry file via auditing if possible. As a minimum the person: * would need permission to CreateSubkey on HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/ (or any of the appropriate subkeys if existing) * would need permissions of QueryValue in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Cygnus Solutions/CYGWIN.DLL setup/b15.0/mounts/ * probably would need permission to EnumerateSubkeys in the above path.
