Your assumption is wrong. Greatly simplifying, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM is a built-in access control group, under which whole system kernel works. Taking out the rights for SYSTEM to f.e. access certain directory will prevent most services from changing it. > Please give me your take, if you have more info. > I am interested It's offtopic in this mailing list. If you're interested in a full list of built-in users and groups, I suggest you check the user list as given by ACL editors, when you use search function. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 23.09.2013, <22:01> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
