The following is happening. Any ideas of what to do?

1. I have created a folder called test. 2. Within server manager I create a share for test. 3. Withing user manager I create a user called dude, a global group called dudes_global with several users, and a local group called dudes_local with several users.

First I give one person (dude) permission to access test and everything works fine. (Dude can access test and nobody else can)

Second I remove dude from the permissions list, add a global group (dudes_global) to have permission to access test and everything works fine. (Only the people in dudes_global can access test nobody else can)

Third I remove dudes_global from the permissions list, add a local group (dudes_local) to have permission to access test and then it happens. (Nobody can access test and I mean nobody. I keep on getting not accessible / access is denied)

Anything wrong with using local groups?? Is there any setting that needs to be changed in NT or on the Filer???
