Likewise it is very possible (and common) for two SDs to be radically different (different ACE entries with different flags, etc) but result in identical behavior. In short, there is no sure fire way to compare two SDs without enumerating each account with mask, flags, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 1:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Win32::Perms->GetSD() comparison I am trying to compare directory permissions and am having a bit 'o trouble... I used the $sd = Win32::Perms->GetSD(); to retrieve a security descriptor from each directory (parent and child). Each directory has the same ACLs/ACEs. When I try to compare the two $sd strings with each other, they do not match. I have reloaded and enumerated the $sd string into Perms objects and they do contain the same ACLs/ACEs but the order is different. Is that it or are anonymous arrays like hashes (not sorted). Can I match these with "eq" or "=" and if not, can I match them at all? Or do I need to enumerate and compare the SD contents in loops? Thanks much in advance.
