It was the configuration of the scheduler service in NT that can be set up to log on as a named user. It is done by clicking on the "Scheduler" line in the services box and then filling in name and password for the user to be "Log on as...". For those of you (Jon) who have spent time thinking about this I express my gratitude and hope I will be able to assist you in the future (preferably with sys.mgm. on DEC UNIX) and also that you can help me some other time when needed.
