BTW: I just committed code to the new command line smbcacls program in Samba 2.2 and HEAD (modify NT security descriptors from the UNIX command line) to allow a user with sufficient privillage to change the ownership of a file to an arbitrary user. The NT docs say this is impossible, which has always bugged me as it is even possible using the SeBackupPrivillage from a Win32 program. Anyway, you can now do it from the UNIX command line :-) :-). Hope this is useful, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Buying an operating system without source is like buying a self-assembly Space Shuttle with no instructions. --------------------------------------------------------
