[support] Access control modules do not work . . .

[Victor Kane]

I am no expert, but there was a wonderful drupal dojo lesson on ACL
and other niceties of the Drupal node access system, given by Andy
Kirkham (ajk^) himself, and I wrote up the class notes, perhaps they
might be of help:

btw, make sure you backup your database before zapping your node access table :)
