I am wondering if there is a utility that will "sniff" out the security settings on folders and files, and generate a report based on its findings. Something that will tell me exactly what users and groups have access to network shares. Does anyone know of such a utility, or another way to accomplish this other than manually?

SHOWACLS.EXE from the ResKit will dump out file/folder permissions.

PERMS will show an individual users rights to a file/folder.

For share permissions, use SRVCHECK.EXE to list all the shares on a server and their security.
