Re: AVG updates grant full control to Everyone, changes owner?

said by asdfghjklzx5:

Actually, this happens when file permission are set using the command-line cacls.exe utility. I use cacls.exe at work to set custom perms for legacy programs, and this weird "bogus inheritance flag" happens every time I use it. I just passed it off as a strange bug, and though nothing more of it, as it didn't hinder the effectiveness of cacls.exe.
Wasn't aware of that with CACLS, thanks for pointing that out. It certainly doesn't change the effectiveness of the ACE to have an inherited flag from nowhere. I didn't see anywhere in CACLS to reset inheritance -- are you aware of how to do that with the utility?

Thanks,

Philip Sloss

No. AFAIK, calcs.exe can't reset inheritance. There are some other annoyances with cacls.exe. Microsoft really didn't do a very good job with it.
