Re: Using computer names in NTFS folder permissions

This is not true. NTFS permissions work for user, group, and computer
accounts. Which permissions apply depend on the security context of the
process that is being used to access the file or folder.

Learn something new every day. I was not aware you could use NTFS
permissions to restrict a computers access to a file or folder.

Of course I've never tried it either.
