Overview

Somar DumpAcl (TM) is a Windows NT program that will dump the permissions 
(ACLs) for the file system and registry in a consise, readable listbox format,
so that "holes" in system security are readily apparent. Somar DumpAcl is a 
must-have product for Windows NT and NTAS systems administrators. 

Windows NT contains the mechanisms for providing strong system security, 
using permissions (ACLs) to control access to files and registry keys. 
However, it can be very difficult to determine if all permissions have been 
set correctly, since there are so many files and registry keys on the typical 
system. The situation is analogous to having a building with unbreakable 
locks on each of 10,000 doors. The problem is not with the locks themselves, 
but rather with one person walking around and checking that none of the 
10,000 doors is unlocked.

Somar DumpAcl provides a solution to the problem of too many files and
registry keys to check on a regular basis, by producing a consise and readable
report of file system or registry permissions. By reviewing this report,
you can determine if users have more access to the file system or registry
than you want to allow. You can then use file manager or the registry editor
to set permissions differently.
