How do I get around this ??? You can't. When using sshd under inetd (WHICH IS NOT RECOMMENDED) sshd starts up under the same user account as inetd, typically the "LocalSystem" account. This LocalSystem account doesn't have access to network drives. Even if that would be possible you would have to give your password to be able to change the user context. I suggest starting sshd under your own account. Don't use inetd for that.
