RE: Accessing network shares under sshd

ssh is normally set up to run under the SYSTEM
account; that's why you can't map drives in
an ssh shell...

You need to start the ssh daemon with a different
account than SYSTEM, one that can log into the
PC or Domain. This isn't a very secure means,
especially if you use the Administrator account.
Whatever privileges the account has are passed
onto the ssh daemon. I could be wrong...

A more secure way to map the drives is to
set the ssh daemon up as it usually is,
including privilege separation. Then use
vnc or tightvnc, etc, to log into the box.
You can map your drives manually then, or
as part of the logon script. The mapped drives
will then show up in your ssh session.

Use df to see the before/after drive listing.
