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..

Curiously, you can cd into subdirectories on the S: drive, but you can't list the root directory on S:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /
$ cd /cygdrive/s

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/s
$ ls
ls: cannot open directory .: Permission denied

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/s
$ cd perl

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /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


Specify the user name and password to "net use"?  If this is not it, we
need 'cygcheck -srv' output, your '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' entries for
'root', and whether you ssh in with password or public key authentication.
The former should work.  The latter requires the user name and password
supplied to "net use" as I mentioned above.
