But there's *just* one case you missed (of course that happens
to be the most important case for a file server :-). That's the
case where you get a SID as part of an NT ACL.

In that case you just get a list of SIDs, and the ACL
is in self relative format. Unfortunately an ACL can
contain both user and group SIDs - and there's *no*
extra flag that tells the two apart.

So my suggestion is still neccessary I'm afraid.

Jeremy.
