I think the problem is that no one in the OpenSource world really knows how to register new |WNNC_NET_*| keys. QEmu shared folders, DOKANY, ms-nfs41-client, etc. all use |WNNC_NET_RDR2SAMPLE| because the sample filesystem code uses that. Also... there is the problem that many OpenSource projects do not have funding/money, and if the registration costs money, then no one can do that. For ms-nfs41-client there is another "solution", the driver only uses /nfs4/ subdir, so UNC paths usually look like //derfwnb4966_ipv6linklocal@2049/nfs4/net_tmpfs2/test2 ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [email protected] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
