Summary: GetFileSecurity returns wrong SID

Initial Comment:
The following code printes PySID:S-1-0x008014000000 for
every file on any machine, independent of the real 
ower of the file:

for f in glob.glob("d:/*.*"):
    try:
        o =
win32security.GetFileSecurity
(f,win32security.OWNER_SECURITY_INFORMATION)
        s = win32security.SID(o)
        print str(s),
    except:
        print "n/a",
    print "   ",f

----------
Interestingly,

def prsid(name):
    import string
    print string.rjust(name,20),
    try:
        sid,box,what=win32security.LookupAccountName
(None,name)
        print str(sid),box,what
    except:
        print "oops"

Works well, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with 
PySIDs.

Thanks for your help in resolving this.

P.S.: (Discussed in http://groups.google.com/groups?

Reassigned to MarkH, as this is in the Win32 extensions.
