RE: WinXP upgrade breaks cron mapping


I'm doing good just to be able to use Cygwin on my own workstation.  Use
Samba?  The establishment will never go for it.  I'm a Unix dude in an NT
world right now. :-(

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.
