Installed private module 6.x-1.x but don't get it working correctly. private checkbox appears on edit node pages, nodes marked as private have icon correctly attached and realms private and private_author are written into node_access table but access to content is not limited to author of node. I granted only "mark content as private" permission to user rolls for allowing them to make private blog posts but all other users with the same roll also have access to their private content. any hint how to limit access content author?

Do you have any other node access modules installed?

Don't know whether you're in the same situation, but I'm using both Organic Groups and Private. When my users mark a post as private but still publish to their group, the post is still visible to their group. Private only works when they remember not to publish to the group.

I was playing around with Taxonomy Access Control Lite but have it disabled. But using module Private on a fresh Drupal 6.6 install works fine so maybe access rules weren't reset right after disabling tac lite.

I'm going to mark this by design. It's a limitation of the node access system in Drupal core.
