SystemAuth=Yes means first check the passwd file, then check the system 
users (Using LogonUser).
SystemAuth=No means only check the passwd file.

There has been a long-standing redundant check in the ntserver case, 
which I've removed in the latest CVS, however removing all the checking 
is not the correct way to go about it (your patch would break every 
other protocol & leaves your cvs server wide open).
