>http://setacl.sourceforge.net/ Yeah, I thought of using the MS reskit utils as I have logon scripts which already make use of them and through those I see you can backup acls to a txt file but the thought of restoring some of the data and then selectively applying a backed up acl would be cumbersome :( This isn’t looking easy. I *could* setup Samba on te remote server and establish a vpn but I have to say all my experiences with Samba have been less than what I would consider, enterprisable and that could very well be my simple extreme lack of knowledge with it.
