permisions: cat from bash vs type from cmd

[Morten Kjærulff <mortenkjarulff at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I am sure there is a fine explanation for what I see here, but what do
I need to read to understand, or what is the explanation.

My friend is trying to protect his .netrc on his virtual server, which
works when I uses native windows commands, but I can see his file when
I uses cygwin? I am running on my own PC and we are on the same
domain.

$ cat //virtualserver/d$/mhome/.netrc
machine computerxxx login userxxx password passxxx

$ cmd

D:\mhome>type \\virtualserver\d$\mhome\.netrc
Adgang nægtet.

D:\mhome>exit
