[QUOTE="lager100, post: 343468, member: 28216"] Hi, *should* is the operative word there ;) after a bit of researching, it seems that the Mac doesnt actually *ignore* the NTFS ACL, but rather uses the least restrictive permission set for that account.. i.e. if you have a full control on the share and a read only on the ntfs, the full control will apply on a mac, where as the read only will apply on a windows machine. its a bit of a worry really since all my home users folders are shared up with full control to everyone and then refined down to individual users on the specific folders.. however i was able to use a mac to delete these folders with an account that has no access to that folder (even though the contents would not be displayed).
