RE: [ssh-l] Can't see network drives when run as a service?!

Can you run a batch file\script after you connect to the
Win2k machine? Try running "net use t: \\\\server\\c$"
from a shell to see if it completes successfully. If it
does, disconnect it and try again from a batch file
or script during the pubkey connection.
If that works, you might have (a part of) your solution.
"net use t: \\server\c$" won't work because the shell
sees it, not the server. You need to escape the \ with
another \ in order for the shell to pass it on....something
I just learned looking up "System error 67 has occurred",
which is what I got trying to run "net use n:
\\eodc2\mis_files"... "net use n: \\\\eodc2\\mis_files"
works just fine.

Hope this helps,
Jim
