Now that 1.7.6 has appeared at my favorite mirror I repeated the test:
pc> uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 p01080268 1.7.6(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-16 16:06 i686 Cygwin
pc> ls -ls //junk/file
ls: cannot access //junk/file: No such file or directory
Great, it's fixed.
But wait:
pc> ls -ls //server/junk
0 -rw-r--r-- 1 lemkemch Domain Users 0 Dec 1 2006 //server/junk
I was wrong above, here is a server called 'server'. But it doesn't have
a file 'junk'.
Doing the equivalent from a DOS box:
U:\>dir \\server\junk
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

P.S. Sorry for breaking the thread, can't do any better at the moment.
