They may be related. Problem #1 - garbage-chars in filename Drive W: mounted using MS' "net use" command. I am operating under a remote ssh login. I am using Cygwin on a Linux CIFS share and get "denied" message when I DO have correct permissions. This error leaves "weird" filenames in the dir. $ echo "foo: HJHKH ())" >/cygdrive/w/bashwrite -bash: /cygdrive/w/bashwrite: Permission denied copies don't work either: $ cp /cygdrive/c/expectedfile /cygdrive/w/newwrite cp: cannot create regular file `/cygdrive/w/newwrite': Permission denied $ ls -l /cygdrive/w ls: /cygdrive/w/bashwrite???X: No such file or directory ls: /cygdrive/w/newwrite????X: No such file or directory total 1 -rwxr--r-- 1 2000 1001 6 Oct 13 17:24 expectedfile OK.

Administrator AT QA2000TEST ~ $ Because I could create the file using cmd.exe, this points to my Cygwin setup... but it might be more complicated than that. Problem #2: Drive shares created under ssh session, do not work under graphical console of Windows 2000. Example: I ssh into system as Administrator, "net use" to mount a CIFS drive. In the graphical desktop (also logged in as Administrator), the drive letter is shown but it has a red X and cannot be used. If I use Explorer to mount a "new" drive letter to the same UNC path, that mount behaves properly. ---- This feels like a permissions issue, and I'm wondering if my earlier ssh server issues (which *seems* resolved) are the cause, or if it's a CIFS issue I only see with Cygwin (see log above, doesn't happen in CMD.EXE) ANY insight would be most appreciated! -Scott -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
