asp.net worker process user

I see on my XP machine the aspnet_wp.exe is running as ASPNET user.
However, on one of the W2k3 machine, w3wp.exe is running as System. Wasn't
it supposed to run under NETWORK SERVICE user? Do you suppose someone had
changed the default behavior?

Check your machine.config file, in the ProcessModel section.

Thanks. I found machine in the machine.config and according to the sdk doc,
IIS 6 settings are used and processModel element is ignored when running in
Native mode(BTW, what is native mode and how would I know?).
And I found in IIS 6 config, the application pool was set to run as System.
No idea why. The default website was set to Network Service though.

Thanks for the info.
