- => =Assuming you gave READ+WRITE access in your ACE, I have some other guesses what
-
- Sorry, my mistake. Since Bob didn't mention the obvious problems with giving
- the user WRITE access to the file (i.e., if you give him WRITE access to
- SYSUAF, he's got any privs he might want to grant himself), I misread
- "READ+WRITE" as "READ+EXECUTE." One of these days I'm going to learn that when
- I wake up in the middle of the night, it means my blood sugar's running low and
- eat before logging in as a cure for my insomnia. My apologies, Bob. But why
- didn't you point out to the original poster that if he gives WRITE access to
- SYSUAF.DAT, he's giving away the store?
