As an alternative, I used trustee.nlm to dump the trustees to a file, did a
search and replace on the rights field to make them all RF, then used
trustee.nlm again to change the rights.

a better way to code the rights flip would be to take the output of the
trustee.nlm run, edit it to revoke all rights and then add an RF at the
root of the volume.

good outside the box thinking there...

I just thought of another way to make a volume read-only but haven't
tried it to see if it would work: change the volume's quota to what
it's already using so it can't grow...
and you could probably use a matched pair of LDIFs (that could br
scripted) to turn it on and off...
funny, i don't see my reply that you replied to...
true, but you'd only have to make a change in one place and not have to
fiddle with any trustees.

looks like the easiest way to do what you want (and how i'd do it if i
had to) is to:
load trustee save <vol>:\ vol:\<filename>
backup the file with a timestamped-rename.
trustee remove <vol>:\
trustee restore <vol>:\RFatROOTonly.txt
then, when you want to restore their rights:
trustee remove <vol>:\
trustee restore <vol>:\<filename>

Actually its not to hard to do. I've just released a utility that blocks
access to specific file types - I can modify that to make a volume or
directory path read-only. Give me a few days to see what I can come up with.

Hmmm.. make that a few hours.
Jim, drop me an email - have an nlm you can test that makes
volumes/directories read-only.

i had to go out for a couple of hours <g>
inbound shortly.

Its a demo version - expires at the end of the month.
