Starting a service under the SYSTEM account.  Like sshd sessions
prior to 2K3.  Pubkey logins are running in the logon session of the
user starting the service.

Most modern native Windows tools understand the \\server\share syntax.
cmd.exe is not one of the modern tools, unfortunately.

"As usual starting with 2K3".  XP64 is actually not an XP kernel, but
a 2K3 kernel.

No.  It doesn't matter.  It's just the way the help text is written.

See above.  But I just realize that I mis-read your mail so that I
thought it works on XP32 but doesn't work on XP64.  You wrote that
it's the opposite.  Then my answer is, "I don't know".  It works for
me on XP32, but I never really expected it, as it didn't work on older
Windows versions anyway.
