1. What does the acronym ACL represent? What does an ACL do? What makes up an ACL?
2. With an ACE, what type of entries are typically listed first?
3. When a user logs on to Windows NT, what are the three pieces of information needed so Windows NT can verify the request?
4. What is generated for a user by Windows NT's Win32 Winlogon upon a successful logon, and kept with the user until they log off?
5. Name a couple of things that are contained within the "thing" that Windows NT constructs for a user (see question #4)?
6. Consider this dialog box, and its data for the following questions:
a. If Famke is only in the Actresses Group and Users Group, and wants to view the file FAMKE75.BMP, is she allowed to do this? Why or why not?
b. If Famke is not in any Groups, and wants to make changes to the file FAMKE75.BMP, is she allowed to do this? Why or why not?
c. If Famke is only in the Actresses Group, is she allowed to take ownership of the file FAMKE75.BMP? Why or why not?
d. If Famke is in both the Actresses Group, the Models Group, and the Administrators Group, is she allowed to view the file FAMKE75.BMP? If she can, then explain. If she can't, also explain, and suggest how she might be able to still get access to the file.
7. If a user's process makes a request to an object (i.e. a file object), and the request is authorized, what does Windows NT grant or give to the users process object table? How is the use of this particular item different for subsequent requests, compared to the first time the object was requested?
8. Scenario: User FoxM is not a member of any Groups. As FoxM, he has no permissions to access a file named SCULLY.TXT. So, one day FoxM logs on and tries to access the file. Of course, he sees an "Access Denied" message on his screen. While still logged on, FoxM calls his system administrator and demands to have at least Read access to the file. Reluctantly, the system administrator grants FoxM Read access to SCULLY.TXT by adding FoxM to the X-Files Group (and the X-Files Group has Read access to SCULLY.TXT) and tells FoxM over the phone that he can now access the file for Read access. FoxM immediately tries to access SCULLY.TXT, but is denied again! Needless to say, he screams in exasperation. What happened and why couldn't FoxM access the file? What must he do to access the file?
