Modify Cygwin sshd to support login into user SYSTEM?

Cygwin is a user-level library, don't use it to substitute system
administration tools. Bad idea. Bad things will happen.

That would only mount the path for SYSTEM user. All network mounts are
per-session. Every user has to do it for themselves. More so, if a user has
elevation rights, they will need to remount the paths under elevated token
separately.

Use logon scripting for that. Solves the problem the way it's intended to be
solved.
