<humor me 1 more time, won't post this again for months/thanx> Greetings:
I'm looking for a free commandline tool (or scripting method) to dump directory or file perms, that will show whether a given directory object will allow inheritable permissions from it's parent directory to propagate on to itself. You may view this setting as a check box in windows explorer (properties>security). More generally the tool should also dump any other new windows 2000 security settings (new w/r to windows nt) if there are other ones I'm not aware of. I've already looked at xcacls, showacls, dumpsec, setacl, cygwin getfacl. I've also modified a USENET script that uses the perl Win32::Perms module from David Roth; the script works fine but does not show the flag I need. thanks/regards, -- Tom Rodman -- PS The Usenix perl script that I modified was called perms.pl. You can pry it out of: http://www.unetu.net/jiaocheng/xfocus/%B0%B2%C8%AB%C5%E4%D6%C3/264.html perl -e 'print unpack("u", "\.\=\$\!T\<F\]D\;6\%N\+F\-O\;0H\`");' -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
