Good point. Most of my Windows boxes are app servers running the system
drive. Putting on my file server "hat", makes me look at it from a
different point of view.

I'm so used to Linux and Netware's "additive" permissions model for file
serving, that it still takes a different way of looking at things form the
MS point of view...even after using NT for more than a decade!! :)

Thanks,
