I am using CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.3.3 (on Windows XP machine). Basically, I cannot get rsh commands to access networked drives. On the windows box, I have a samba-shared drive on a Linux box mapped as drive K. I want to run a windows-based cross-compiler on the XP machine, but it needs to access source files on the Linux machine. The cross-compiler is to be invoked by a build system (Aegis) running on the Linux machine. Running cygwin locally on the windows box gives me (in part) this: ~> mount k: on /cygdrive/k type user (binmode, noumount) The inetutils README file indicates that this drive should be in the system mount table. I tried : mount -s k: /cygdrive/k, which warned me that it would always be masked as user mode, but "mount" now display: ~> mount k: on /cygdrive/k type system (textmode) Locally, "ls k:" and "ls /cygdrive/k" commands work as expected. Now, if I rsh from a Linux box, I get (in part): LinuxBox> rsh windowsBox mount k: on /cygdrive/k type system (textmode) However, if I try: LinuxBox> rsh windowsBox "ls k: 2>&1" or LinuxBox> rsh windowsBox "ls /cygdrive/k 2>&1" I get: ls: k:: No such file or directory ls: /cygdrive/k: No such file or directory If I telnet into the windows machine, supplying both a login name and password, I get exactly the same results as the above "mount" and "ls" commands supplied via rsh. inetd is running on the XP machine as LocalSystem. What's going wrong? Any help appreciated!
