Re: //UNC/ paths problem

We have 2 separate Win2k8 R2 x64 server systems (without domain, and

I noticed that when I start Cygwin shell session with Administrator
rights, I can't access UNC paths anymore.

This is not a Cygwin problem.  This is how Windows UAC works by default.
There's a registry key which you can set to override the behaviour:

Thank you a lot ! Probably Cygwin should return some other errno (like EACCESS) to the calling application, not just fill 'stat' structure in a meaningless way. Windows says 'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password' when I try to 'dir' non-mapped network share from the Admin's command line.

	Anyway, thank you a lot for explaining what I have stumbled
	upon .
