What permissions do you need to read a fike on Win2K?

2003-03-19 Thread Richard Sharpe 
Hi,

After doing some testing of Win2K permission bits, I find that you need 
READ_DATA and READ_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES to be able to read a file under 
Win2K. Can anyone confirm that?

Similarly, you need WRITE_DATA, WRITE_ATTRIBUTES and 
WRITE_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES to be able to write a file.

Bizaro, unless you know that Windows implements file data as the unnamed 
$DATA attribute (except where you have created alternate data streams, in 
which case they are named).

Right.  In smbd/posix_acls.c the definition:

 #define FILE_SPECIFIC_WRITE_BITS
(FILE_WRITE_DATA|FILE_APPEND_DATA|FILE_WRITE_EA|FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES)

is used to set the required perms in the ACL.
