why not run sshd as local system and have each person log on using password
authentication, that way each user will be using their own environment (the
downside being that you have to use a password as passwordless logins
(pubkey etc) cannot get network access using the cd //server/path method,
however i seem to remember that  net use x: \\\\server\\share (note the
escaped \'s) then using the mapped drive will still work)
