That's probably your problem then.  AOLserver 3.3+ad13 has a bug such
that non-default group membership is ignored.  (Most 3.x versions have
some flavor of this bug, perhaps it was finally fixed completely in
3.5.x but I don't remember.)  Even though your OS knows user nsadming
is a member of group web, your AOLserver does not.  Change nsadmin's
default group to "web" and all should be well.

Due mostly to that bug, unix user and group membership are persnickety
in AOLserver 3.x, and it usually takes me a few tries to get it right
on the (infrequent) occasions when I set up a new AOLserver.  I think
4.0 fixes all that.
