LAN Manager Limits Number of ACLs on a FAT Partition (97871)






This article was previously published under Q97871

SUMMARY

With LAN Manager 1.01, there is a limit on the number of ACLs which can be created on a FAT partition. LAN Manager 2.x addresses this problem by providing HPFS386 and ACLs stored in the file system, rather than in NET.ACC, but you can encounter the LAN Manager 1.x limit with non-HPFS386 ACLs in version 2.x also. You can work around this by using default (drive) permissions to set up the most common access permissions, then using ACLs only for exceptions to these default permissions. Drive permissions are not available for HPFS386 drives.
