It's a global mount table inherittable by all users. You can create a mount entries with registry editor, and every user will inherit this settings. The entries are very useful when running cygwin-based CGI scripts with IIS - IUSR_COMPUTERNAME accout created by IIS is very interesting - it have no HKCU registry tree at all :-) So, the global table is the only way to provide mounts to this account. If user's mount entry have different settings than global one, cygwinb19.dll uses user's entry. -- Sergey Okhapkin Moscow, Russia Looking for a job - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help". - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
