Jeremy,

True.  But I think the check was probably there to prevent
a server from suffering from a sec_desc that got corrupted
and therefore locked everyone out.  I agree with you that
this should be possible but I don't think I would be
comfortable unless I did more testing to know what impact
that could have.

I'm not particulary opposed to the idea (of setting an ACL
on IPC$) but I'm not convinced it would entirely work like
we think it should without more testing.

Make sense?



cheers, jerry
