Win2003 does not just any process to call NtCreateToken - they must be
one of a few highly privileged processes, not just 'System'.  This
makes it very hard for 3rd party apps to use.  You need to use an LSA
authentication layer as CVSNT now does.

SeImpersonatePrivilege does not exist in Win2k/XP only Win2003 (it's
added in Service Pack 2 of XP also).
