This response was originally part of a discussion on accessing files using 
cffile, and the need to run cfserver under a user account as opposed to the 
system account.

I'm concerned with the ramifications of running cfserver as a user account 
as opposed to the system account.  Are there security issues that don't 
exist when it's run under the system account ?  We've got a pretty heavily 
used existing live box that has been running cfserver under the system 
account.  I'm concerned about A:breaking existing applications and 
B:creating security holes that didn't exist before.

Any advice would be appreciated.
