There's a wonderful one which ships with the NT resource kit[0] which
"might" and this is if you're lucky enough to get the bastarding thing
to work, grant full administrator privs irrespective of who telnets in
to every fat filesystem on the box & under certain conditions the same
level of access to an ntfs partition :)

that it's as buggy as fsck
