I just customized the master page of a MOSS 2007 site and also applied a custom theme that I created to it. It looked great (it's quoted from the customer, no kidding :). However, when a senior manager of the client decided to view it, the site just kept prompting for login continuously. He's not impressed. I knew he was able to view the site BEFORE any customization was applied. So how could an unghosted master page and a modified copy of an existing theme result in access issue?
It turned out that the new resources, a few image files and new CSS files, that I added for the customizations are the culprit. Or rather the ACLs on these new files. Several files added to the images folder and themes folder in the 12 hives didn't inherit the permissions from the parent folder for whatever reason (most other added files inherited fine). As soon as the ACLs on these files are set properly, the site stopped the endless login prompting.
