Re: Losing Authority to a file in Batch

And the point I was trying to make (and not very well) is that an audit
company that has a "blanket policy" that adopted authority is bad/wrong,
doesn't know enough to be doing your audits very well. Adopted authority is
not inherently bad. Used correctly, it provides more security...used
incorrectly it can actually reduce the level of security. It's usage must
be analyzed along with other factors such as who has authority to the
program/command which adopts authority and what the program/command itself
does.
