My first fast answer would be "no" but I'm not >sure. Would Jeremy talk with me about that problem? Do you have his >email address? I didn't mention using NTSEC like this because it didn't occur to me. I was thinking that we could somehow give a file a "symbolic link ACL" or something. However, I did mention that you had been doing work using ACLs and he mentioned that we should coordinate effort. I completely forgot about this until you mentioned this. His email address (or one of them anyway) is jra AT samba DOT org. As you may, or may not know, Jeremy was one of the original authors of cygwin so he is somewhat familiar with it. cgf
