- 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.
-
-
