How does one create an administrative network share [1] with read-only permissions from C/C++ or Python under Windows XP?
[1] Necessary in order to access C:\Program Files over the share.
First create the share with NetShareAdd(). This will share the directory with a
nullACL, which is equavalent to allowing everyone full access. It is not possible to configure permissions withNetShareAddon Windows.Once the share has been created, get the security descriptor for the share by calling GetNamedSecurityInfoW() passing in the share name,
SE_LMSHAREas theObjectType, andDACL_SECURITY_INFORMATIONas theSecurityInfo. Once you have the descriptor, use the normal Windows security calls to configure the ACL.
