ssh session can't see share permissions; rights for disk share reduced..

[cygwin at trodman dot com (Tom Rodman)]

Just upgraded to 1.5.18. Having several problems with
network drives in ssh sessions - problems not seen in 1.5.10
or earlier.  Here they are:

# ********************************************************************

I would appreciate it if anyone can try the above two cases
and let me know of they work OK for you.

minor (3rd) problem:

ssh session does not have proper rights for drive mapped on console
  (I can live with this, but it's a change..)

  I won't go into details, but in an ssh session, try 'ls -l' using a drive letter
  style path for a network drive that is mapped on the console
  (not UNC path), ls does not seem to use /etc/group or /etc/passwd.
