NTFS hasn't got the same security system as UFS. Just because you can
logon to a filesystem doesn't mean you have any rights. Just because
you can write a file doesn't mean you can append. On NTFS one can
allow per person or per group to list, view, read, create or modify
(append) a file. And that for multiple users and multiple groups.
