We can require Administrators (-544) in /etc/group, and SYSTEM (-18) in both /etc/group and /etc/passwd, right?
Yes. I'm just wondering if we shouldn't check for the Admins group only. The token of the SYSTEM user always contains the Admins group and the cyg_server (or whatever the name is) user is always (and should always) be created as member of the admins group, too. So, if I didn't miss anything important, the check could be reduced to checking for the admins group permissions. Does that make sense?
