Sort of :) I understand that there isn't the handing over of user privileges
to other users on windows, I just wanted to know under which account the
drives are being mapped.  Know rush says they are being mapped as netrender
(in our case) but I have logged in as that user and there are no mapped
drives in that account.

	Hmm, I'm not sure 'net use' is showing us mapped drives for "all" users.
	I think maybe it only shows the mapped drives for the 'current user'.

	For instance, I'm logged into to my windows machine as 'erco',
	and have the Z: drive mapped.

	Then, if I telnet into the same machine as a different user, say
	"administrator", and map drive X:, then type 'net use', I only see
	the X: map.

	And from the 'erco' windows, 'net use' only shows the Z: map.

	Funny thing is, erco can do a 'dir z:' and 'dir x:' and both work.
	(my samba server is configured to be /very/ open)

	But 'net use x:' only works for 'administrator', and 'net use z:'
	only works for erco..!

	So 'net use' seems locked to only show information for the logged in
	user, and doesn't not give a complete picture (ie. all users).
	Life with Windows, I guess.
