Re: multi-user environment: mounting a lot of shares via ssh


Do you want a separate home directory from the one specified in /etc/passwd? You could always 'mount -fsb //computer/A_home /A_home'...

hi

while 'shares' can be mounted in a ssh session via 'net use' by a single
user, it seems that in a multi-user environment, the users have to make
sure, that they do not re-use already mapped drive letters.

consider the following example:

user A:
1. ssh <host>
2. net use h: \\\\computer\\A_home
3. ln -s /cygdrive/h /HOMES/A
--> ok

user B:
1. ssh <host>
2. net use h: \\\\computer\\B_home
--> System error 85 has occurred.
   The local device name is already in use.

question:
how can more than 26 users (user A, user B, ... user Z) mount their
HOME-directory?
is there a way to solve this problem?




Is that pubkey or password authentication?

Why not use the UNC path directly instead?
