On XP32, my CYGWIN sshd service properties page shows "Local System account" in the "Log on" tab. Is this no a SYSTEM session?

I don't know if it's relevant, but when I ssh into my XP64 machine and do "GPResult", I get a normal-looking dump (enclosed). When I try that on the XP32 machine I get INFO: The user "WORKGROUP\HYDRA-XP$" does not have RSOP data.
