Hi,

I've looked at the FAQ, searched the archives and read the user guide,
so don't jump down my throat please. Either I've missed something or the
docs aren't 100% user friendly.

Question - how do I mount a Unix (HP-UX in this case) file system on my
NT box using Cygwin? It appears from the docs I just do something like

mount //<machine_name>/<exported_remote_dir>  <local name>

This mount command seems to complete without error, but any attempt to
access the remote files gives me "<dir_name> no such device or address".

An alternative would be a way to export a cygwin file system for the
Unix box to use but that's probably not feasible as cygwin would have to
be running all the time I guess.

As an aside - is there a way to get a .profile working?

Thanks,

Dave.
