I think you missed the fact that pubkey authentication does impersonation, not Windows-style authentication. So Windows apps won't recognize the pubkey authentication as providing permissions to run restricted programs. You'll have to use password authentication if you want Windows to recognize the user you've become via ssh. You can find all sorts of discussion on the difference between pubkey and password authentication for ssh in the email archives if you're interested. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
