NTFSSECAUDIT(8)		    System Manager's Manual	       NTFSSECAUDIT(8)

NAME
       ntfssecaudit - NTFS Security Data Auditing

SYNOPSIS
       ntfssecaudit [options] args

       Where options is	a combination of :
	      -a full auditing of security data	(Linux only)
	      -b backup	ACLs
	      -e setting extra backed-up parameters (in	conjunction with -s)
	      -h displaying hexadecimal	security descriptors saved in a	file
	      -r recursing in a	directory
	      -s setting backed-up ACLs
	      -u getting a user	mapping	proposal
	      -v verbose (very verbose if set twice)

       and args	define the parameters and the set of files acted upon.

       Typing  secaudit	 with  no args will display a summary of available op-
       tions.

DESCRIPTION
       ntfssecaudit displays the ownership and permissions of a	set  of	 files
       on an NTFS file system, and checks their	consistency. It	can be started
       in terminal mode	only (no graphical user	interface is available.)

       When  a volume is required, it has to be	unmounted, and the command has
       to be issued as root. The volume	can be either a	block device  (i.e.  a
       disk partition) or an image file.

       When  acting on a directory or volume, the command may produce a	lot of
       information. It is therefore advisable to redirect the output to	a file
       or pipe it to a text editor for examination.

OPTIONS
       Below are the valid combinations	of options and arguments that  ntfsse-
       caudit  accepts.	 All the indicated arguments are mandatory and must be
       unique (if wildcards are	used, they must	resolve	to a single name.)

       -h file
	      Displays in an human readable form the hexadecimal security  de-
	      scriptors	saved in file. This can	be used	to turn	a verbose out-
	      put into a very verbose output.

       -a[rv] volume
	      Audits  the  volume : all	the global security data on volume are
	      scanned and errors are displayed.	If option -r is	 present,  all
	      files  and  directories  are also	scanned	and their relations to
	      global security data are checked.	This  can  produce  a  lot  of
	      data.

	      This  option  is not effective on	volumes	formatted for old NTFS
	      versions (pre NTFS 3.0). Such volumes have  no  global  security
	      data.

	      When  errors are signalled, it is	advisable to repair the	volume
	      with an appropriate tool (such as	chkdsk on Windows.)

       [-v] volume file
	      Displays the security parameters of file : its interpreted Linux
	      mode (rwx	flags in octal)	and Posix ACL[1], its security key  if
	      any, and its security descriptor if verbose output.

       -r[v] volume directory
	      displays the security parameters of all files and	subdirectories
	      in directory : their interpreted Linux mode (rwx flags in	octal)
	      and  Posix ACL[1], their security	key if any, and	their security
	      descriptor if verbose output.

       -b[v] volume [directory]
	      Recursively extracts to standard output the NTFS ACLs  of	 files
	      in volume	and directory.

       -s[ev] volume [backup-file]
	      Sets  the	 NTFS ACLS as indicated	in backup-file or standard in-
	      put. The input data must have been created on Linux. With	option
	      -e, also sets extra parameters (currently	Windows	attrib).

       volume perms file
	      Sets the security	parameters of file  to	perms.	Perms  is  the
	      Linux  requested	mode (rwx flags, expressed in octal form as in
	      chmod) or	a Posix	ACL[1] (expressed like in  setfacl  -m).  This
	      sets a new ACL which is effective	for Linux and Windows.

       -r[v] volume perms directory
	      Sets  the	security parameters of all files and subdirectories in
	      directory	to perms. Perms	 is  the  Linux	 requested  mode  (rwx
	      flags,  expressed	 in octal form as in chmod), or	a Posix	ACL[1]
	      (expressed like in setfacl -m.) This sets	new ACLs which are ef-
	      fective for Linux	and Windows.

       [-v] mounted-file
	      Displays the security parameters of mounted-file	:  its	inter-
	      preted Linux mode	(rwx flags in octal) and Posix ACL[1], its se-
	      curity  key  if any, and its security descriptor if verbose out-
	      put. This	is a special case which	acts on	a mounted file (or di-
	      rectory) and does	not require being root.	The Posix  ACL	inter-
	      pretation	can only be displayed if the full path to mounted-file
	      from the root of the global file tree is provided.

       -u[v] mounted-file
	      Displays	a  proposed contents for a user	mapping	file, based on
	      the ownership parameters set by Windows on mounted-file,	assum-
	      ing  this	 file was created on Windows by	the user who should be
	      mapped to	the current Linux user.	The displayed information  has
	      to  be copied to the file	.NTFS-3G/UserMapping where .NTFS-3G is
	      a	hidden subdirectory of the root	of the partition for which the
	      mapping is to be defined.	This will cause	the ownership of files
	      created on that  partition  to  be  the  same  as	 the  original
	      mounted-file.

NOTE
       [1] provided the	POSIX ACL option was selected at compile time. A Posix
       ACL  specification looks	like "[d:]{ugmo}:[id]:[perms],..." where id is
       a numeric user or group id, and perms an	octal digit or a set from  the
       letters r, w and	x.
	      Example :	"u::7,g::5,o:0,u:510:rwx,g:500:5,d:u:510:7"

EXAMPLES
       Audit the global	security data on /dev/sda1

	      ntfssecaudit -ar /dev/sda1

       Display the ownership and permissions parameters	for files in directory
       /audio/music on device /dev/sda5, excluding sub-directories :

	      ntfssecaudit /dev/sda5 /audio/music

       Set  all	 files in directory /audio/music on device /dev/sda5 as	write-
       able by owner and read-only for everybody :

	      ntfssecaudit -r /dev/sda5	644 /audio/music

EXIT CODES
       ntfssecaudit exits with a value of 0 when no error  was	detected,  and
       with a value of 1 when an error was detected.
