I think the standard answer to "how do I keep ownerships/ACLs when copying files in NT" is "use scopy from the resource kit". scopy is a Windows NT command-line tool that works just like xcopy, but can retain ownerships and permissions. In Windows 2000 that functionality is available in the standard xcopy program, but I think there still isn't a way to do it from explorer. This has always been one of NT's significant flaws as a file server - you don't really have any more advanced tools for managing this kind of thing than you do on a single-user workstation. -- Michael Heironimus -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
