Thanks Rick.
Can you explain what it is about the permissions set by the Wizard that
appears to make the database secure on one PC but not the other?

Can you point me to a reference that lists bugs related to ULS Security in
general, and the Security Wizard in particular?

You are assuming it is secure on the original PC because you are prompted to log
in. That is a completely separate issue from whether a file is secured or not.

The truth is that the file is totally un-secured because the Admin user as a
member of the Users group is able to open it on the other PC. Neither Admin nor
the group Users should have any permissions or ownership in a properly secured
file.

As stated before, a common mis-step is to leave Admin as the owner of the
database. Owners have rights above and beyond their *permissions*.
