Now that thare's more info, that looks to me like a bug in VM:Secure. If VM:Secure was running without error messages and was never brought down and if it correctly resolved the rules for a user that is a member of a security group only after it left/rejoined the same group, then that is a bug.

We are moving towards running VM:Secure with RULES enabled as a CLOSED security system. Our testing isn't going as well as we hoped. We have had RULES enabled for many years with NORULE ACCEPT in effect. We changed to NURULE REJECT and some funny things are happening. Anyone can issue any
