Reporting on ACLs?

Megadeth4168

Does anyone know a good utility that will create a database of a networks current ACLs? I mean all files and folders....

Actually what might be easier is does anyone know how to query files or folders on a network to search for a specific user or group?

We have one group that our NAS added to every file and folder and it was causing all sorts of issues... Any time this group was set blank (no allows and no deny) it would set deny on the next level down.... We ended up running a utility from this company that did away with the user group at the root level...

Problem is that we find some folders so many levels down have not inherited rights from above... All we have to do is make small change on the higher level and apply changes and it will send the information back down to the lower level....

Problem is that we have millions of folders and we are just hitting these ACLs at random as people try to access certain things.... We are just looking for a better way to get rid of this problem.

Thanks

Hyena can export it all to a file, and you could perhaps manipulate it from there.
