NETACP in RSX (and I suspect VMS) is just the process/program that

When somebody tries to connect to, say, FAL, it's NETACP that receives the incoming
connection request. NETACP creates a process and runs FAL in that process to handle the
rest of the job, BUT since NETACP creates the process it's also the one that decides
what username to use and logs in the process (if necessary). It's the one that
handles the default account; FAL doesn't have to worry about that.
