- Subject: directory permissions problem with net use
If I ssh (as root) into my Windows 2003 box running Cygwin and then in the
Cygwin shell create a network share, then things don't quite work as I
expected..
root@brandy /
$ net use s: \\\\beech.mydomain.com\\svctools
The command completed successfully.
root@brandy /
$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

df: `/cygdrive/s': Permission denied
Curiously, you can cd into subdirectories on the S: drive, but you can't list
the root directory on S:
root@brandy /
$ cd /cygdrive/s
root@brandy /cygdrive/s
$ ls
ls: cannot open directory .: Permission denied
root@brandy /cygdrive/s
$ cd perl
root@brandy /cygdrive/s/perl
$ ls
docs tc
which seems a bit weird.... if you go to the S: drive in an native windows
command box, then dir S: works fine.....
Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? Why is permission denied in
the /cygdrive/s directory even though one can cd into its subdirectories?
many thanks
