  83 a session you did with passwordless authentication, are you? Because if
  84 you are, it's not going to work (see &lt;<a linkindex="10"
  85  href="http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-RELEASE1.3.3">http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-RELEASE1.3.3</a>&gt;).<br>
  86 </blockquote>
  87 IIRC In Windows, if you log into Windows in a passwordless manner (i.e.
  88 using ssh and pre-shared keys is considered passwordless - secure - but
  89 you didn't supply a password) then Windows cannot determine how to
  90 access SMB shares since it needs to "login" or authenticate with the
  91 remote server using your username and password and all it has is your
  92 username. Thus having a remote home directory will never work for our
  93 purposes here. I will attempt to follow up on the Cygwin mailing list
  94 to confirm my suspicions about this. There is hope for this to be
  95 solved in the <a
  96  href="http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/ov-new1.7.html">1.7 version
  97 of Cygwin</a>:<br>
  98
  99 <blockquote>Cygwin now allows storage and use of user passwords in a
 100 hidden area of the registry. This is tried first when Cygwin is called
 101 by privileged processes to switch the user context. This allows, for
 102 instance, ssh public key sessions with full network credentials to
 103 access shares on other machines.<br>
