- MDIR
-
- Written by Michael D. Pierce
-
- MDIR can allow you to scan an entire Volume, or just part of it, and change
- any [No owner] files to SUPERVISOR. This will prevent any possible conflicts
- later. You can also convert file ownership from one user to another.
-
- Suppose you are going to delete a user and want to make sure any files
- owned by that user are not given the fatal "No owner" flag. What do you do?
- Run MDIR with the /C option and change all files flagged by one user to
- another (you specify the new user!).
-
- This can be especially handy is the SA did not install programs as SUPERVISOR,
- and wants to untag all these files as his.
-
- MDIR can also be useful just for showing which files belong to you, or list
- the entire Volume for review.
-
- So, in a nut shell, here's what the registered MDIR can do:
-
- o MDIR works with both files and directories!
- o Change all "No owner" files to SUPERVISOR
- o Change all files tagged by one user to another
- o Display all files (or just a portion) on a Volume and their owner
- o Display all files owned by the user, all no owner files.
- o Give output in either full format, or short mode.
-
- Type "MDIR ?" for a list of commands. You have to be a supervisor equivalent
- or SUPERVISOR for the change functions to work properly.
