Replication group on Windows 2000

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

My question is about Replicator Group on a windows 2000 domain controller.
I've read Microsoft's definition and it seemed rather ambiguous to me.

I was wondering if there is a security issue with the default setup of the
File Replication Service that would require creating a special user account
for this group.

If so, which specific services need to be changed to run as that account?

What other permissions does this user account need to have besides being a
member of the Replicator Group?

Thank you for your time.
