unique ssh user environments

Hi Everyone.

I have configured sshd on my server and it appears to work well.
The problem I am having is that if multiple users login via ssh, they both 
are running in the same "user space". Sshd is running under a privileged 
user account instead of SYSTEM.


Here is an example: user "A" logs in via ssh  and  maps a drive letter to a 
network share "net use x: \\server\share". User "B" then logs in via ssh as 
well . User "B" sees user "A" mounted network drive "x". If user "B" 
disconnects the drive, "net use x: /d", user A and user B are both 
disconnected from the drive share.

The other strange behavior that is occurring, is that if someone logs onto 
the console directly while someone is logged in via ssh, the same problems 
occur.

Is there a way to configure cygwin so that when each user logs in via ssh, 
they will get their own unique "user environment"?


Any assistance would be appreciated.
TIA
