RE: Properly using ntsec, from the beginning

[Steve Jorgensen <jorgens at coho dot net>]

It is on my to do list to start a project or join an existing project to 
create a security wizard that can be run by setup.exe after install or at 
any time.  This would help in creating and maintaining passwd and group 
files and setting proper ntsec permissions for existing objects.  Its a few 
big projects down on my list, but I do intend to work on it.
