SYMPTOMS
========

You receive different results when trying to access a share from a Windows NT
client versus a Windows for Workgroups client if the share is on an NTFS
partition and the NTFS directory permissions have been revoked for the user on
this share.

- From the Windows for Workgroups client you can connect to the share, however
  the following error appears:

  No File Found

- From a Windows NT client you are not be able to connect to the share, and the
  following error appears:

  You do not have permission to access this directory

As a result, from the Windows for Workgroups computer, you can access a
subdirectory of this share if you have permission on it, but from the Windows NT
client, you cannot access the share or any subdirectory under it.

CAUSE
=====

The server returns an SMB_ERR_NO_FILES response to the Windows for Workgroups
client and an STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED response to the Windows NT client.

WORKAROUND
==========

Directly share the subdirectory when you must revoke permissions on its parent
share.
