WHAT IS DOES
Allows only user who are members of the group MAKE_DIR to create new
subdirectories on network drives. Useful for networks that have many
out of control users creating massive directory structures. Does not
affect local drives.
HOW IT WORKS
TSR that intercepts DOS and Netware create directory calls. Uses
only 816 bytes when loaded. If checks to see if it's already has been
loaded and does not display any messages.
HOW TO USE IT
Step 1.
Create a group named MAKE_DIR with SYSCON. Put the names of any user
that you want to have the ability to create new subdirectories in this
group. You can't put in other groups or use security equivelents. If
a user's name is not in this group, they can't create subdirectories
(this includes the supervisor).
Step 2.
DIRUTIL can be loaded anytime AFTER the shell is loaded. Don't load it
with the # command in your login script files. For naive users, you can
just add it to their boot disk. For diskless workstations, just add it
to the autoexec.bat file and regenerate a new boot image file. If your
login scripts use a EXIT command to start a batch, put it there. An
additional program DIRCHK will check to see if DIRUTIL is loaded and
set the DOS ERRORLEVEL to 1 if it it not. The best locations for DIRUTIL
and DIRCHK may take a little experimentation and imagination.
LIMITATIONS
