winbindd and copying NT files/ACLs

[Rob Helmer]

Hi David,


Thanks for the info. I've dumped ACLs using the "dumpacl" utility
on NT, so now I have a text file. Maybe I can make a perl script to
parse the script and assign the proper permissions?

The userbase here is only about 20 current users, and most of it
is dealt with in groups. If I have to do it by hand I will, but I'd
rather script it so I can use it in the future.

Anyone ever parsed winbindd -> NT mappings for
setting ACLs on the Linux side with a script?

How have people dealt with large migrations in the past?



Thanks,
Rob Helmer
