Hi All

I am wondering about FrontPage extensions and Process Isolation in Windows
2003 Server.

I have successfully set up a site and added it to an application pool with a
custom user (for ASPNET).
I also add a custom account for the IUSR process and add only the users I
want to the site's directory via NTFS.

When I add FrontPage extensions to the site, two things happened that are
the point of my question:

1-The site is added to the MSSharePointAppPool (I imagine this is for making
calls to the dll in the bin).
2-4 users are added to the NTFS permissions in the site dir.

-INTERACTIVE
-NETWORK
-OWS_bunchofnumnbers_admin
-SYSTEM

What are the four users for? Can I isolate them?

Is there any concern about adding the site to another application pool? I
spent a long time learning to isolate it and would hate to mess up my work.

Does this second application pool only fire for requests to the bin? It
seems to. When I call the site and check my processes, the site is still
running under the account I set for the first pool.

Are there any links to an msdn article, that offers a further description,
on these four new accounts and what they are used for?

Thanks for any responses.
