Re: WinXP upgrade breaks cron mapping

I realize the cron is running under SYSTEM account and that's why I have to
manually map drives within my cron scripts.  Is there any knowledge on the
differences with XP and NT which might explain why mapping the drives with
my own NT id would not work as they did prior to upgrading to XP?  I have
the same permissions on the remote server as I always had.
as far as i know the SYSTEM-Account cannot acces any network drives.

you should perhaps su to your userid - altough this should already be done by cron itself (if the cronjobs are not scheduled to run as root).

hope it helps.
Sven
