iis ftp:

I'm running Small Business Server 2003 SP1, and trying to set up an FTP

site. I've copied a working example from a Win2k3 SP1 machine, and
have set up an FTP site with non-AD user isolation pointing to d:\web.
I've created the localuser\myuser directories, and permissions are set
on the d:\web, d:\web\localuser, and d:\web\localuser\myuser
directories.

I'm still getting the "home directory inaccessable" message.

I've run the MS Authentication & Access Control Diagnostics app, and
it's telling me that everything is pretty much ok, but the
"BUILTIN\Users" group is lacking the "access this computer" privilege.
Normally, I'd know how to set this, but SBS seems to have installed all

manner of wizards and plug-ins, and I'm completely stuck.

Can anyone tell me if I definately need to enable that permission, and
if so, how? Or is there something else I need to do, in order to get
this working?

Thanks in advance - this is driving me nuts!

In this, filemon from sysinternals.com should able to track down this
easily.
Run it at the server, try login to the ftp, when you hit the error, look at
the filemon log
and see which folder the ftp service is sending the user to, and why it got
access error.
