You can do this through the Explorer GUI under NT4 with SP 4 or 5 (I forget
which one) and a Microsoft utility (I believe it's called the Security
Configuration Editor) or Win2K. There's a very complex matrix of permissions
under NT.

If you don't have the SCE installed, you can still manipulate all of this
stuff from the command line using CACLS. Here's a copy of a console where I
ran CACLS to display rights for a cfm file which allows the IUSR_MACHINENAME
account to check permissions, but not read the file:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\authtest\authtest.cfm 

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(DENY)(special access:)
FILE_READ_DATA

BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F
DAVE\IUSR_DAVE:(special access:)
READ_CONTROL
SYNCHRONIZE
FILE_GENERIC_EXECUTE
FILE_READ_EA
FILE_EXECUTE
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(special access:)
READ_CONTROL
SYNCHRONIZE
FILE_EXECUTE
