No no *no*. Buy O'Reilly's "Windows NT System Administration" by AEleen
Frisch.

Page 179: The Windows NT CACLS utility may be used to display and
modify ACLs. It has the following syntax:

     cacls file(s) [options]

Try cacls /? for options.

Better still, are the NT Command Line Security Utilities from
http://www.pedestalsoftware.com/ntsec/

(AEleen Frisch also wrote "Essential System Administration," so she's
basically a long-time Unix admin who also ended up doing NT admin. So
she's not going to stand for doing everything with the GUI when there
are command-line tools available. :)

Another good book in the series: Windows NT User Administration.
Again, it's reads like a couple of Unix sysadmins who got stuck
doing NT. :}

They delve into the realm of user management, and talk a *lot* about
using Perl to facilitate this important (but not often written-about)
topic.
