Error: 4006

Unable to get or set security information on the config file.

-or-

Unable to write file.

Windows NT administrators do not have this problem.

NOTE: This also occurs in SNA Manager 3.0 and 4.0. For related information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
