Thanks for the reply, Wes. I have all that info (and understand it). I've
been using cacls for a long time. However, I've never seen a document or
web site, etc, that explains why we see double entries such as I gave as an
example. I'm sure there must be a valid reason and I'm sure that it's
important in some situations. I'd just like to know.

I hope someone has some info on these questions.
