I noticed some discussion on the list a while back, where people
reported that if they logged in remotely to their Windows PC via
slogin, they didn't have access to their network shares.

I'd never worried too much about this, since I always just manually
mapped the drives.  Today I also modified our local
/etc/profile.d/cisra.sh to automatically do this for you, since drives
you normally map do show up (as "Unavailable") in a "net use".

For me, it worked well.  For someone else, it doesn't.

It doesn't matter whether I'm logged in on my PC doyle at the console
too, or not.  I can do "net use X: '\\handel\d'" and have it work
correctly in either case.

Could it be because I have PowerUser/Admin privileges on my PC?

PS:

For your enjoyment, here are the local profile mods to auto map
(for some people!) their normal network shares:

#
# When logged in via ssh, normally mapped drives are listed as Unavailable,
# so build a "net use ?: path" command for each of them.
# This doesn't work if done as an eval or a . for some reason, it has
# to be written into a separate script and executed.
#
if [ ! -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]
then
    echo "Logged in via ssh: now restoring any network connections"
    net use | \
	sed -n "s/^Unavailable[ 	]*\(.:\)[ 	]*\(.*\\\[^ ]*\)  *Microsoft Windows Network/net use \1 '\2'/p" \
	    > /tmp/net-restore$$
    sh /tmp/net-restore$$
    rm -f /tmp/net-restore$$
fi
