RE: Mounting Samba Network shares

ssh doesn't process samba "ghost" (remembered) drive mounts, because it
doesn't do a full NT login. It just uses the security level of the user.

Mount the drive using this command
net use g: \\server\share /user:USERID

Subject: Mounting Samba Network shares

I've been trying to find the solution to this problem in many places, but
regrettably I have been unable to find one that is completely descriptive
- I am primarily a Linux/Mac OS X user and so Windows networking is
somewhat confusing to me.

Here's the problem (which has apparently been "beaten to death" on this
list, but as I said, I fail to find any comprehensive answers):

I have a Linux machine with Samba sharing my home directory. I have a
Windows machine running Cygwin and Windows 2000. I have set up the sshd
service as described on the page: http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.html

When I ssh from my Linux machine into the Windows machine, everything
boots up fine, but I can't access my Samba share, which should be mounted
in G: drive. If I open up a cygwin session on Windows it shows the drive
mounted.

The answers I have found involve running the sshd service as a different
user, and using "password authentication" to login via SSH. I understand
both of these, but am not sure how to implement either. When I SSH in it
asks me my password (I don't use key sharing), and when I try to change
the user for the service I am unable to select one that works.

Help me!

Max
