NTFS and Shares ritghts vs. Netware Rights

[Guest]

Hello

I would like to combine share and NTFS rights to produce the same effect
than in Netware. That is: have a root directory with no NTFS rights on it
that I would share and when connecting to that share it would only list all
the subdirectories that I have rights for. That is pretty simple in Netware.
I tried the same on a Windows server but the result is not the same: I can
access the share but see no subfolfer even if NTFS rights are set for some
subfolders. Why ? I thought also give List rights to the root folder but then
users see all the directories even those they have no access for (even if
they can do nothing with the data, I don't think this is a real good deal).

Can someone help me ?

Thanks
Nicolas

You are seeing how NTFS permissions define access.
With list one what execute on the folder in order to enumerate
what is in it, whether you have access to those things or not.
In that regard it is fairly Unix-ish.

Thanks for your reply, but I did not really understand what you mean...

Have I on the root folder to set the "List folder" right and stop the
inheritance on those subfolders I do not want people to see ?

If people will do a deep mapping directly to
\\server\share\theirsubdir
they do not need list on \\server\share
If they will browse to it, then they need the grant of list,
which will let them enumerated (the names of) all the objects
at that level
That is the meaning of the list permissions, which effectively
lets them execute the directory enumeration, i.e seeing the
entries in the directory, without regard to their permissons
to access those objects. Unlike Windows and Unix, Netware
behaves differently.
