Permissions in Windows 2000

[joenj]

We are running Silverstream Server 3.7.2 and Sybase on local machines. Whenever a user tries to run Silverstream Server while being logged onto the network the following error message appears:
*** Fatal Error, aborting
com.sssw.srv.http.httpd: An unexpected exception occurred

Everyone runs fine under Windows NT. Under Windows 2000, administrator rights are needed to run it. Of course, we can't give Administrator rights to the users on the network. They can run it locally if they admin rights on the machine. It appears to be a permissions problem with Windows 2000, but I have not been able to find the problem.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
