On Behalf Of Ryan Johnson `mkpasswd` and `mkpasswd -l -U0-2' produce the same output (neither includes the SMB user); the drive is mapped in Windows as z: and I can also access it directly from the cygwin prompt. What is the output is you run: mkpasswd -l samba-server-hostname -U 0-2 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

What is the output is you run: mkpasswd -lsamba-server-hostname -U 0-2 It's rather prodigious (and slow, as warned by the man page). If I limit it to my own uid on that server, I get: ryanjohn:unused:12680:9:,S-1-22-1-2680:: mkpasswd (370): [31] A device attached to the system is not functioning. Thanks for explaining that. I've never used the command before and the man pages weren't closing the gap. Not sure how that will help my local user have write permissions to ryanjohn's files, tho...
