I have a complex problem to solve. My boss has asked me to generate a list of access rights on a set of directories on a complex set of shares.

Is there a program available that will traverse a set of directories and analyzing effective file permissions....

This is on a Windows 2000 server NAS device, therefore DON'T tell me about the bells and whistles the Win2K3 has avaialble.

Thanks for any help you can muster!

... a recursive 'rexec' command, of any type, from any remote, connected host, should tell you whether you have/don't have permissions for the requested operation, beginning with 'ls.' I mean, 'dir,' dammit. That would prove/disprove 'read' permissions, for all directories below ~.

How many distinct usernames did you say you have to test again?
