Is it better to have for example a web server service running under SYSTEM, or a local user account only in the Users group? |

Yep, it's running the latest version of PHP. Maybe the FastCGI stuff isn't fully compatible on NT4 |

You should run these servers under a limited local user account (or a domain account with similar rights). Then assign the minumum set of file/directory permissions for the services to actually work. No idea about the crash, but have you tried the latest version of PHP? |

Also, I experienced something very odd with NT4. Instead of typing it again: http://josephn.net/scrapbook?entry=weird_crash_nt4 |

So my IRC and FTP servers should be running under a local user account too? I'm using a small web server called Abyss by Aprelium. |

Yep. If you are talking about IIS, the install will create an IUSER account for this purpose. But it's a lot less secure under NT4 then later versions because the default permissions everywhere else are a bit more lax.
You should not run them under the SYSTEM account. |

Ideally you want to run a web server as a dedicated user with very little privileges. |
