1. Windows has DOS namespaces per user, or per Logon.
Can anyone explain this from a Win32 API point of view how they are kept
separate?
Ask on SuperUser *NOT* SO!
2. If I have Administrator rights, is there a way in /proc where I can
/bin/ls -la or /bin/find -ls all those DOS namespaces and soft links
to the real devices?
Cygwin exposes these MS Windows Executive Object Manager subsystem resource
objects under /proc/sys/ and object namespaces are per session under
/proc/sys/Sessions/ you have e.g.
$ ls -glo /proc/sys/Sessions/BNOLINKS/
total 0
lr--r--r-- 1 0 Apr 19 21:23 0 -> /proc/sys/BaseNamedObjects
lr--r--r-- 1 0 Apr 19 21:23 1 -> /proc/sys/Sessions/1/BaseNamedObjects
so each session has its own set of BaseNamedObjects, which you can list with
appropriate permissions, or using a tree browser.
Under MS Windows you can use Sysinternals WinObj64 to browse the hierarchy and
objects.
