I'm very sorry to flood the list like this, but please note that the 
lines I pasted above include a major security breach on any NT/2000/XP 
system.  The SYSTEM account should not have a blank password field like 
that (I copied the line from my file while I was doing some service 
testing).  The line should read:

SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::

Note the star in the second field.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kevin
