it definitely is, although my experience with NT 4.0 has shown that NT
*can* randomly change permissions on the system. don't ask me for an
example, i can't produce one, i know it was true when i used it. sure,
may have been my fault, but i am quite comfortable in asserting that i
did know my way around cacl.exe and the wonderful GUI's.

well yes, but remember that i switched precisely for that reason. and
i never compared NT to anything but the other windows flavors...
