<SNIP>
The option to modify permission's to a subdirectory is by default not
turned on.
<ENDSNIP>

What I mean is that if I modify the security to '/rob2' It does not have an
option to modify the security to all the subdirectories and whatnot
underneath it, automatically, unlike NT.  Unless, of course, you want to
use authorization lists.

Did I explain this better?  I was using the term subdirectory as in
subordinate to the one you're currently working on.  Pull up the
permission's in NT Explorer and visualize that.

Also, I would still use the commands in some situations.  For example if
you have 20 files under a directory and you want to change the authority on
all of them.  I tried to do this with op's nav.  I highlighted the 20.  I
right clicked and selected permission's.  20 windows then opened up.  I
would have to fill in all 20 windows.  Or I could have used:
CHGAUT OBJ('/rob2/*') USER(FRED) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)

I don't understand what you mean by this.   I go into OpsNav and on a
particular directory,  I right click my mouse and get a window with
"Permissions".   I click on that and I can set the permissions for that
directory.

It is alot easier and (should I say it)  alot more intuitive.   I wouldn't
use the commands (GRTAUT) anymore after using OpsNav.   I'm at V4R4.
