  67 a session you did with passwordless authentication, are you? Because if
  68 you are, it's not going to work (see &lt;<a linkindex="10"

  71 IIRC In Windows, if you log into Windows in a passwordless manner (i.e.
  72 using ssh and pre-shared keys is considered passwordless - secure - but
  73 you didn't supply a password) then Windows cannot determine how to
  74 access SMB shares since it needs to "login" or authenticate with the
  75 remote server using your username and password and all it has is your
  76 username. Thus having a remote home directory will never work for our
  77 purposes here. I will attempt to follow up on the Cygwin mailing list
  78 to confirm my suspicions about this. There is hope for this to be
  79 solved in the <a

  83 <blockquote>Cygwin now allows storage and use of user passwords in a
  84 hidden area of the registry. This is tried first when Cygwin is called
  85 by privileged processes to switch the user context. This allows, for
  86 instance, ssh public key sessions with full network credentials to
  87 access shares on other machines.<br>
