Hi Igor, All,

thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately, 'net use' does _not_ work.
-frown-

...I brought up three windows on the box, a Cygwin Bash session, an SSH
session (F-Secure client), and a "dos command prompt". The Bash session
and the dos prompt window work identically, but the ssh session doesn't
work at all. Since this is the first I've used the 'net' command, I'm not
entirely sure what to expect from it, but it was frustrating that I
couldn't even get it to spit out help on the ssh session, though help
worked fine on the Bash and dos prompt windows.

From the ssh session, 'net use' returns:

$ net use
New connections will be remembered.


Status       Local     Remote                    Network

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unavailable  K:        \\fs1\Commons             Microsoft Windows Network
Unavailable  S:        \\fs1\software            Microsoft Windows Network
Unavailable  U:        \\fs1\users               Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.

...Whereas in both of the other sessions, the Status is listed as "OK".

When I try other commands, there seems to be some kind of terminal
interaction problem. For example, in the following example, I only entered
the command at the system prompt, and it returned me to the system prompt
without pausing for my interaction:

$ net use k: rtroy
k: has a remembered connection to \\fs1\Commons. Do you
want to overwrite the remembered connection? (Y/N) [Y]:
No valid response was provided.

$
In other cases, it just runs silently, but has no apparent effect, for
example, the following just return to the system prompt:

$ net use /user:rtroy

$ net use * /user:rtroy

...Since I've never successfully used 'net use', I'm still struggling a
little with the syntax, but that asside, 'net' isn't having a normal user
interation dialogue with me, I don't think.

Any further comments greatly appreciated.

Richard
