I was getting ready to setup some website on iis6 and looked at the default
website NTFS permissions. Seems like an awful lot of accounts get
permissions.
Are all of these necessary?
Is there any documentation describing the accounts and why and what
permissions they need?
Administrators
IIS_WPG
Interactive
Internet Guest Account
Network
Network Service
ows_3825878182_admin
system
Users

These accounts are likely because you inherit them from above:
>Administrators
>Interactive
>Network
>Network Service
>system
>Users
These are the two main IIS ones used.
>IIS_WPG
>Internet Guest Account
This looks like a FrontPage account:
>ows_3825878182_admin
You'll also see _WebAnonymous and _WebApplications if you use .NET.
You will want Administrators, Interactive, Network, Network Service
and System, maybe Users depending on waht you use, but feel free to
uncheck any of the rights you want and check your site. You may find
you don't need all of them.
Also, I'll bet Bernard and Ken's book has some info you'd like to see,
