A. The Windows NT resource kit ships with a utilitycalled RMTSHARE.EXE that is used to modify permissions on shares. Thesyntax to grant access to a share is as follows:
rmtshare \ /grant :,e.g.
rmtshare \bugsbunnymovies /grant savillj:f
Valid permissions are f for full, r for read, c for change and n fornone. To revoke access to a share type
rmtshare \ /grant ,e.g.
rmtshare \bugsbunnymovies /grant savillj
This would remove savillj's access to the share. To view sharepermissions enter:
rmtshare \ /users, e.g.
rmtshare \bugsbunnymovies /grant
RMTSHARE.EXE also allows the creation and deletion of shares. Typermtshare /? for help.
