I'm having a problem getting a user to be able to assign permissions
for a directory tree.  Running Microsoft OS/2 1.21 and LanManager 2.0.
I start off with a clean HPFS filesystem and populate it.  I then
give the user all permissions (RWCXDAP) to the top.  He can then
individually go to any directory and assign permissions to anyone
he chooses. But go up a level and he can't do a 'permit tree' (through
net admin).  He gets:

You do not have permission to access the resource [name of bottom level dir]

So, how do you allow a user to assign permissions to a directory tree, or
partial tree ?  Or do you tell him that he has to do it directory by 
directory.

By the way, admin can do it just fine.
