  This H drive of which you speak, it is a network drive perhaps?

  Well, a good starting point is to read http://cygwin.com/problems.html,
paying close attention to the bit about how to generate, attach and send your
cygcheck output with your question to the list so that we have even the
slightest chance of being able to help without needing to use our ESP to guess
what kind of drives you have and what kind of CYGWIN environment variable you
have...

  But I agree that documentation you mentioned could be clarified a bit, it
doesn't (as far as I could see after a quick skim through) explicitly mention
smbntsec, just links to the ntsec section of the same page.


    cheers,
