Yes, I'm giving up on the Interix subsystem as a whole... it's intolerably slow, and critically unstable (95% is not sufficient for production), so I'm switching to Cygwin (which I know works), but trying to keep the NFS client. However, I'm having a problem...
Before I go bother the Cygwin folks who probably have no experience with the SUA, does anyone know of anything "special" about mounting NFS shares via 'net use'? I can't get it to work (fails with "System error 67: The network name cannot be found") under a Cygwin shell, or under cmd.exe launched from a Cygwin shell, but it does work if I run it from cmd.exe launched via Start->Run. Thus, I'm assuming it's some sort of environment problem, but I have no idea what it might be. Also, I can mount SMB shares under Cygwin; only NFS shares are broken.
I need to get it working in a cygwin environment because I need to be able to mount them through Cygwin's sshd. I have this working on a different computer, but I don't remember how I did it!

No, you can't do that. Quitting is just not an option here.
I'm sure you will be back rather sooner then later.

Gosh, your home is a NFS share - arghh
At least, what you can do is move your home to something local.
Your windows profile will still be on the server.
You can even move allmost everything except the profile itself locally.

"arghh"? First off, ~ is an NFS mount; this is office policy, not something I could change. Second, why on EARTH would I want to?
Right now, I have one copy of my ~/.bash_profile, ~/.ssh/, ~/.inputrc*, source trees, numerous other user configuration files, etc, etc, which provides me with a homogenous environment on the 4-6 computers (two Linux - including my primary desktop - and an occasional Solaris) I regularly work on. Trying to maintain six copies of that without an NFS-mounted home would be a total PITA.
Third, what brought this up, anyway?
