The printer secdescs are different again. NT ACLs are a complete overdesign,
look at the mangling we have to do programatically to make sense of this
stuff. Exposing this to a commandline is insane. Windows does it with a
GUI that limits what a user can do. The problem with using the complete
format on a command line is people setting ridiculously complex acls
which are essentially meaningless in the context they're being applied
to. A simplified format enforces meaning on what is being set.
