in reply to Win32::FileSecurity and explicitly denied permissions

Looking at the source, ACEs of types other than ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE_TYPE are ignored. ACEs of type ACCESS_DENIED_ACE_TYPE are not returned by any function in Win32::FileSecurity.

    So how would I identify those ACCESS_DENIED_ACE_TYPEs for my servers?

      Fix the code for the module and rebuild it? It could really use some TLC. It does some things nicely but has some serious limitations. The world will thank you.

        I guess that's what I get for asking :)

        I'll see what I can do...

        How would I go about this? The FileSecurity.pm looks like a header file with no actual implementation.

        Where do I find source code I can edit and then examine the results of those changes?
