[support] Anonymous users access to some files and all nodes

[Michelle Ziegmann]

OK, then, assuming that access to the files are all or none on a given 
node, you might be able to get away with creating just 1 view as a "Node 
Content" display using the Views Attach module 
(http://drupal.org/project/views_attach).  You might have to create 2 
"node content" displays within the view - one with access for anonymous 
users only, one with access for authenticated users only, and set the 
filters accordingly using whatever field/term you use to set file access 
for the node.
