You don't want to disable impersonation unless you're certain of what 
you're doing.  Go to Control Panel > CVS > Advanced tab and check the

If you *do* need impersonation disabled for some reason, I don't think 
you can leave CVS logging in as SYSTEM since that can't validate any 
account info as users try to log in.
