service keeps failing due to bad id and pwd

First let me say if this isn't the correct forum then point me to the
correct one. thanks

Ok, here is my issue, I have a service running on my W2k server and I have
an username and password defined to run the service as. (domain\username).
Everytime this service runs it fails and says:

The SSP Timer Job Distribution List Import Job was not run.

Reason: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password

Technical Support Details:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Logon failure: unknown user name or
bad password
at
Microsoft.Office.Server.Utilities.WindowsSecurity.GetUserTokenFromCredentials(String
userDomainName, String password, LogonType logonType)
at
Microsoft.Office.Server.Utilities.WindowsSecurity.GetUserTokenFromCredentials(String
userDomainName, String password)
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.JobHandler.Execute(Object
state, Boolean timedOut)

now this is for a sharepoint service, so .. .

I have entered the username and password several times, the service stops
and starts fine when I right click the service and select 'restart'

Now I havne't done server admin work in a few years now, but is it possible
that another server may be trying to run this service and the ID and
password are incorrect on that server? If so how can I find out what server
it is?


also, when I select the user name it shows up like this in the username
textbox
username@domain.

is that the correct format? i've also seen it as domain\username

which format should it be?
