Re: [ros-general] Ros-general Digest, Vol 98, Issue 2

[Marcos Reyes]

To make things short, I want to alter the Reactos library that deals with
ACL in Windows, and use it in place of the corresponding microsoft windows
library.

[Steven Edwards]

I don't know where the entry points to the APIs in question are in user
space, I'll leave that for someone else to address. I've replaced various
libraries for different purposes many times and it can work depending on
the library or application in question.

That being said, if you want to bypass a file system driver, I don't think
you want to try to use ReactOS ntfs implementation as a drop in replacement
as of yet, at least not if you care about your data integrity. Even if the
ReactOS team said they had a 100% functional implantation I'd be cautious
using on volume with data I cared about.

Thanks
Steven
