Instead I tried to run Samba on a SparcSolaris 9 machine and then go through the Samba connection for all access to the server. This method works, but it is slower than going directly to the server. I really wish someone on the cygwin development team could spare a few cycles to look into this problem. Perhaps it doesn't affect very many people, because I haven't seen a whole lot of reports about this problem. Any further insight will be appreciated.

I am now running into the exact same problem, after I upgraded to the latest cygwin version. The problem is that the "ls" command isn't able to enumerate directories if they reside on a CIFS share on a server. If I know the name of a file on the remote share, then I can access it, but ls cannot enumerate the directory. The shell, neither bsh nor csh, cannot do it either because if I cd to the share and do 'echo *' then it just prints *. The cmd "dir" command can enumerate the remote directory. This leads me to suspect that in a recent release of cygwin, the ls command got broken, or some library that supports ls got broken. This used to work fine before I upgraded. Has anyone else run into this problem? Help and advise will be greatly appreciated.
