Question : NT system generated accounts

Hey guys,
This is more of just a question, rather than a request for a solution. I was told when a Windows NT pc or server is built, a system account is automatically created. I was also told that this system account has no password, and uses an anonymous logon.

Can someone shed some light on this? Help me understand these statements... is this truly the case? Thanks guys.

Answer : NT system generated accounts

> a system account is automatically created.
Yes

"The system account and the administrator account (Administrators group) have the same file privileges, but they have different functions. The system account is used by the operating system and by services that run under Windows. There are many services and processes within Windows that need the capability to log on internally (for example during a Windows installation). The system account was designed for that purpose; it is an internal account, does not show up in User Manager, cannot be added to any groups, and cannot have user rights assigned to it. On the other hand, the system account does show up on an NTFS volume in File Manager in the Permissions portion of the Security menu. By default, the system account is granted full control to all files on an NTFS volume. Here the system account has the same functional privileges as the administrator account. "

> this system account has no password,

"The name of the account in all locales is .\LocalSystem. The name, LocalSystem or ComputerName\LocalSystem can also be used. This account does not have a password. "

> uses an anonymous logon.
Not really - It's using it's own special type of logon.  *worry*  Does that help?
