I'd recommend against doing this unless the only user you plan to ftp in
as is this same user. On XP, SYSTEM is the right user to run the service as
for general usage. Of course, for debugging purposes, you can try anything
you like to see if it sheds light on the problem. But if it's a permission
problem that's cleared up by running the service as a regular user, I can
only surmise that the problem has to do with network shares. If that's the
case, and your cygcheck output doesn't hint that it is, see:
