NTFS permissions and SHARE permissions are 2 different things. NTFS
permissions are who is granted access to the folder/file. SHARE permissions
are who is granted access to the file or folder over the network.

These permissions work together to grant and deny access to the particular
file/folder. The share and NTFS permissions work together. An explict deny
in either one of them will result in no access for that group or user. Also
the most restrictive permission out of both applys.

Hope that helps you out a little bit.

Are the share permissions stored on the domain controller? Or are they
stored along with NTFS permissions on the server?

Each W2K computer has it's own local sam that stores user account info
that you have to authenticate against if you are in a workgroup unless you
enable the guest account and include the everyone group in permissions. Ntfs
permissions apply to all users that access a computer, while share permissions
apply only to network access. When a computer joins a domain, then you have the
ability to add users/groups from the domain to your ntfs/share permissions. That
way if there is a thousand users, the users are managed centrally on domain
controllers instead of having to create one thousand user accounts on every
computer. --- Steve
