----------

The NT Command Line Security Utilities contain several programs for
manipulating and viewing NT file security attributes. The programs have
been run and tested on versions 3.5 and 3.51 of NT Workstation and NT
Server. Here is a list of the programs:

saveacl.exe    - saves file permissions and ownership to a file
restacl.exe    - restores file permissions and ownership from a saveacl file
listacl.exe    - lists file permissions in human readable format
swapacl.exe    - swaps permissions from one user or group to another
grant.exe      - grants permissions to users on files
revoke.exe     - revokes permissions to users on files
setowner.exe   - sets the ownership of files
nu.exe         - display current network connections and the username
                 you're connected as
reboot.exe     - shutdown or reboot local or remote computers
which.exe      - locate files in the system path


Each of the programs contain a built-in help screen. Just run any of the
programs with no arguments (for nu.exe and listacl.exe add a "-h"
argument) and the help screen will be displayed.

Every program is independent except for restacl which uses the file generated
by saveacl as input.

BUGS
----
1. grant and revoke only work with files. Inherited permissions support from
directories is being worked on. The documentation from Microsoft in this area
is very poor. The programs will be called igrant and irevoke and will set
directory permissions only.

2. Specifying a recusive lookup on directory '.' loops infinetly.

This is version 1.2 of the utilities. Bug reports can be sent to
