Hi Mark,

  I've had a read through all of the information that I could on 
this, and the problem resolution that you've outlined here 
doesn't seem to be valid.  That is, if I use:
fileSecurity = win32security.GetFileSecurity
('c:/winnt',win32security.OWNER_SECURITY_INFORMATION)

and then watch fileSecurity in a debugger like Komodo, I find 
that there are only three object methods available, 
fileSecurity.Initialize()
fileSecurity.SetDacl()
fileSecuiryt.SetSecurityDescriptorDacl()

I haven't yet gotten desperate enough to use a tool that 
allows the inspection of the contents of RAM to find out 
what's in the fileSecurity object, but I'm getting close to it... ;-)

To be completely explicit, if I use:
import win32security
fileSecurity = win32security.GetFileSecurity
('c:/winnt',win32security.OWNER_SECURITY_INFORMATION)
secInfo = fileSecurity.GetSecurityDescriptorOwner()

Python errors and the traceback looks like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "getfilesecurity.py", line 17, in ?
    secInfo = fileSecurity.GetSecurityDesc
AttributeError: GetSecurityDescriptorOwner

I love Python and would dearly like to use this API to do 
some work...  I found a white paper written by someone that 
talked about the possibility of extending a Python module 
with SWIG to use the GetNamedSecurityInfo() API, but I don't 
have a C compiler ATM to knock the code up with :-(
Oh, and just as background, basically, I'm writing a class 
library to allow someone to list each unique NT account that 
has rights to a file/directory and what those (cumulative) 
rights are.  I already have a basic class that will enumerate 
individual user accounts in local groups for me, now I just 
need to extend it to point at groups in ACLs...

Please please please assist;
Cheers,
Darryl Dixon
