RE: Re[2]: ssh and mount


This is a common question (as the email archives could testify).  
Password-based authentication uses Windows to do the authentication,
so you get the user's mount table (which is currently stored in the 
registry).  Public key cannot authenticate through Windows so you get 
the default mount table.  You can only get to your user's registry hive 
if Windows knows you're you! ;-)  If you want a consistent mount table
for password-based and public key authentication, you'll have to 
mount your paths as "system" (the -s flag to mount).  Of course, then
every user will have these mounts.
