Re: accessing shared drives when logged in via ssh

[David Rothenberger <d dot roth at verizon dot net>]

This is expected behavior if sshd is running as LocalSystem and you used
publickey authentication when you logged in.  On my Win2k box, I can
access shares if I use password authentication.  Alternatively, you can
run the sshd process as a specific user.  If you then use pubkey
authentication (and are logging in as the user running sshd), you'll
also have share access.
