Did you find a solution for this? I didn't see a reply.

To modify the security descriptor in .NET 1.1, you need to do COM Interop
with the IADsSecurityDescriptor. There are samples in the S.DS SDK docs in
MSDN.

The ActiveDirectorySecurity stuff is indeed .NET 2.0. It works if you want
to use the beta or CTP though. :)
