ok, i wasn't going to mention this, as it's missing "set" security
capability (it does have a "read" security command, reggetsec <keyname>).

for those people interested in examining the registry of their nt machines
from a unix box, see:

- http://samba.org/cvs.html
- obtain latest version
- compile rpcclient (after ./configure, do make bin/rpcclient

please see http://samba.org/listproc/samba-technical/1777.html for
details.

why i am mentioning this is that if you feel that writing to the MSDN API
in c is beyond you, but scripts are not, and you want to double-check all
the security permissions on all registry keys, or you want to add / remove
keys or values, then the use of the above unix tool is possible.

remember, please, microsoft's good advice about editing registry making
your machine unusable... and then approximately double it.  i take
absolutely no responsibility whatsoever for the condition of anyone's
machine as a result of use (or lack of), misuse (or lack of), by anyone,
of this tool.

bug reports to samba-bugssamba.org, please.
