sql server clustering : Security Policy for MSSQL service account.

Does anyone have a link for the essential local security policy settings
that are needed by the domain account
that is used to start a clustered MS SQL Server 2000 instance?

I have been to MS Technet and not found a really explicit list of privs as
they relate to my problem.

Of course this has to do with the security guys wanting to deny local logon,
network logon, and terminal services access to the account. Perhaps that is
ok, but will the clustered instance still work?

The permissions/privileges are enumerated in the context of changing the
service account on a clustered instance.

Thanks, I did find that reference and a few others with similar information.
What will happen, because of the local administrator requirement, is an
exception will be issued
with a mitigation of strong passwords changed at frequent intervals (like
whenever MS OS patches are applied
would be a good time). That makes it once a month or less.
