    I am trying to run a XCACLS from a logon script to change the security of a
    file. I have windows 2000 workstations in a WIN NT domain. It seems that
    XCACLS will not let me change permissions on the
    file...winnt/system32/drivers/etc/host. Is there a way I can do this??? I
    want to be able to replace this file on all my workstations. Once I change
    the rights, I can then overwrite the file with a new one. My users are not
    administrators. Thanks.
