account the application pool runs as?

HI,

Normally what account does an application pool run under? And is this
account the account that need permissions to write to the associated database
for that website?

This is Windows securtiy but can the website web.config still be Forms
authentication?

Does anyone have a link to how this works for ASP.net 2.0 on IIS6?

Thanks in advance

RE: account the application pool runs as?

Ok, I wrote a website in VWD. Works fine on WindowsXP and SQL2005 Express.

I FTP it to a Windows2003 server. HOW DOES THE SQL DATA BASE get built?

Do I Have to create an empty database and give Netork Service dbOwner?

I can't find any info on this process.

Thanks in advance
