We removed that feature from IIS6 due to security concerns.

The feature would require IIS6 to run as LocalSystem, and since security is
more important, IIS6 has to run as Network Service and hence the feature was
removed from clean installs and disabled on upgrades. It should be
synchronized by default, so few people should ever need to change it unless
they start invalidating the anonymous user account, or if they upgrade from
IIS5 with unsynchronized username/password.

Yeah, that's where I thought it would be, too.  But, it's NOT!
This is Server 2003, in case that's the difference.
I can fill in the username and password, but there is not a check box to
allow IIS to control it.  I remember seeing a checkbox for that option
somewhere.
I tried in the Default Web Site, and a virtual folder (autoupdate) in this
case (this is an SUS server I'm troubleshooting.
Thanks for your reply!
