Branch/Workarea Security Issue

TeamSite 6.7.1 Patch 3 on Windows Server 2003

I'm having an unexplained problem with our TeamSite server. Users who don't have access to certain branches are able to see them and navigate into them. The branch_security and workarea_security attributes in the iw.cfg are both set to "on", and all of the branches have the Restrict Access box checked. Here's a summary:

I created a test user (lc-user) and added him as a member to group1. We have 5 branches total in our environment. Only 1 of the 5 branches has group1 listed in the Users and Roles, yet lc-user can not only see the other 4 branches, but can also click around in them. The only thing that is correct is that lc-user cannot edit any of the files in those branches.

Has anyone run across a similar situation and gotten it resolved? Any help would be greatly appreciated...thank you!

Did you have your server / iw.cfg file correctly setup with a webserver_group before creating any branches? If not - then "Everyone" has access to all branches and workareas - and thus it doesn't matter if branch wand workarea security are turn on.
