Subject: How to list all drive maps? ('net use' only shows *current user's* maps)

I noticed that 'net use' doesn't show *all* the drive maps,
it only shows maps created by the current user.

In a multiuser context, this is bad, because one can't 'see' what
drive maps are currently in use by other accounts.

For instance, under Win2K say 'fred' is logged into a workstation,
and he creates a drive map for Z:

Then 'jack' telnet's into the same workstation's Win2K Telnet Server,
and creates a drive map for 'X:'.

If jack types 'net use', he only sees his X: map.
If fred types 'net use', he only sees his Z: map.

Both users can access both drive maps (eg. with 'dir X:'),
but the 'net use' command isn't showing the maps owned by
the other user.

There must surely be a way to see *all* the maps.
Is there a command to show this?
