What does "working just fine in Windows" mean? That people in explorer on your machine have read+write access to the linux-shares? Or do you have domain access to the machines running Windows? Are those machine in your Domain or are they outside your domain like the linux machines? > >> This is an organizational problem that has nothing to do with >> cygwin, but whether windows and linux machines are using domain or machine-local >> security.

So do you have the same, *actual* access in Cygwin as windows (ignoring what permissions may be displayed)? It could be that you have domain-admin access and are overriding listed permissions on remote machines. If it's the case that your user doesn't have R+W access, but you are a domain admin, you might just be overriding the write-restrictions in windows as well as cygwin. > When mapping the drives in Windows, a username and password are given.

You need to try something like "runas [alternate credentials + alternate password] net use W: ..." That might work... but is really icky, since you can't easily automate that without storing the password in clear-text in some file in your profile... that's not a good solution. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
