When we installed Sharepoint (version 1), the OS group, everyone,
(Windows 2K) had reader rights. Our VP did not want anyone to be
able to browse Sharepoint. When we took the OS group everyone out of
the reader group, then no one, even those with author rights, was
able to read the site. We had to add a new group, readers, give it
reader rights only, then the other, authors group worked.

This does not make sense to me, and I would love to know how I
could 'fix' it so that I am not running 2 groups.
