Here's a slick way to use the command line to add directory trustee rights to a container in eDirectory.

One use for this handy-dandy process is if you don't trust you LAN Admin and you'd prefer to send them a DOS batch file to update rights automatically.

From the DOS prompt type:
RIGHTS <drive/directory> <rights> /name=<container and full context>

For example:

RIGHTS SYS:PUBLIC R F /name=.TEST.achmecorp

(TEST = container name)
