[python-win32] Where is MakeAbsoluteSD?

[Rob Marshall]

Hi,

At the moment I don't need it at all, but when I use the smbcacls
utility from Samba on a Linux system and have it print the security
descriptor as an SDDL it gives me something like:

O:S-1-5-21-3327876616-1579407131-3503203118-500G:S-1-5-21-3327876616-1579407131-3503203118-513D:P(A;;0x001e01ff;;;S-1-5-21-3327876616-1579407131-3503203118-500)(A;;0x00120089;;;S-1-5-21-3327876616-1579407131-3503203118-513)(A;;0x00120089;;;WD

That's what I was hoping to get so that I could print it out.
Currently it doesn't matter because I can use smbcacls to get what I
want.
