Unwanted share access despite security settings

Hello,

I have a share on a W2K Advanced server with active directory.
Permissions on the share are for a group ABC (defined in Active Directory).
NTFS security is full acces for 'everyone'.

A user MrX belongs to group ABC.

Whe MrX log on LOCALLY on a NT4 machine and this local account has the same
username/password he can access the share. I think this shouldn't be
possibble because the group is a domain group. And no explicit access for
MrX has been defined on the share, only the ABC group. Nothing else.

It gets worse: when he uses WinXP professional, and he has a LOCAL account
with the same name but with an EMPTY password, he gets access to the share
when he logs on LOCALLY!

The guest account is disabled.

I must be doing something stupid. Can anyone please tell me what could be
the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Titus
