Understood --- I can probably set SeBackupPrivilege / SeRestorePrivilege as 'RequiredPriveleges' for the services that depend on the system account having access via the ACLs. Not being used quite in the spirit of those privileges (i.e. for backup/restore), but doable. We'll also have to revise our permissions model on our network filers since before running 'chmod 700' on a file wouldn't blow away our various administrative groups. Like I said originally, just wanted to verify it was desired behavior and it sounds like it is.
