There is a security option to configure such for Windows 2003 Servers. For
instance open up Local Security Policy [secpol.msc] and go to security
settings/local policies/security options and find the option for system
settings:optional subsystems. I believe posix is shown by default and can be
removed. See the link below for more details. --- Steve
