ClearCase dynamic views are mounted in the console session, not in the global namespace. e.g. my view slothman_main is mounted on drive S:, with my MVFS drive as V:, and drive S: only exists in the \Sessions\0\DosDevices\00000000-0000bff9 as symbolic link from "S:" to "\??\V:\slothman_main". (You can see this using WinObj: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/WinObj.mspx .) With sshd running as a service, it's not in the same session as the console, so it can't see the mount. I notice that the MVFS drive itself is mounted in the global namespace (e.g.: \GLOBAL??\V: is a link to \Device\mvfs on my system). Try accessing your view via the view drive (e.g. using V:\slothman_main instead of S:); that worked on my system (running 1.5.19). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
