Traverse folder permissions - need urgent help!

Hello everybody!

I'm migrating our network from Novell 4.11 to Micro$oft
Windows 2003.
I've almost everything done, but I'm stuck on the following
problem:

On the Novell network some of users had full permissions to
other's
subfolders, but didn't see their files on higher levels.
I'll try to
explain this:

We have user A and user B. Both have their home folders in
server's
folder: D:USERS shared as USERS$ and mapped on every
workstation as
P:
. Both have the "SHARED" folder in their private
folders.

So we have:

P: -
     | - A_HOME
         | - A_SHARED
         | - A_SECRET_FOLDER
         | - A_SECRET_FILE
     | - B_HOME
         | - B_SHARED

What I want is to grant permissions to B to see the A's
"SHARED"
folder and it's contents, but not see what other files and
folders are
in A_HOME. I don't want to create shares for A_SHARED. I
want B to go
through: P:A_HOMEA_SHARED. So after entering into
P:A_HOME he
should only see: A_SHARED folder.

I know that there is special permission "traverse
folder", but I can't
get it to work :(

Any ideas would be appreciated...

Ernesto

This is possible on a Windows server as well.  The way I've
accomplished this is to leave my home folder's permissions
(P:A_Home)
as they should be, and then specifically on
P:A_HomeA_Shared I
remove permission inheritance (Security tab -> Advanced
-> Allow
inheritable permissions [...] - uncheck that box) and add
read access
to the group(s) who need it. It will allow access so long as
the other
users have a direct shortcut and do not need to browse to
that
destination.
