File permissions

[imported_JFG]

I'm looking for software that will manage or audit permissions. Say I wanted to get a chart or list of some sort of the permissions on all directories on a file server. Anyone know anything that will do that?

Thanks

cacls, subinacl, xcacls will all display file permissions on files and directories.

DumpSec is a free tool which does a pretty nice job of this.

That's probably the first time I've seen someone recommend subinacl. Which by far allows for the most granularity in permissions changes. You can make permission changes on file or directory level. This allows you to get around the 255 character limit in deep tiered directory stuctures.

subinacl is one of my favorite tools. It is the only tool that I know of that will allow you to GIVE ownership of a file or directory. The ability to do so has existed in every version of NTFS but this is the only tool that actually exposes it.

I got my boss to buy me lunch after he bet me that there was no way to re-assign the owner of a file in NTFS
