IndexingScheduleJobDefinition - Access is denied

I am getting errors with my indexing. This is a single server (basic) install of MOSS. Very little configuration has been done on the server and I am getting the following error posted to the Event Viewer every minute or so.

I assum this is why I am not getting any searchable content in MOSS. What is going on here? Did I miss a step?

For the content access account, I created a new AD user, gave it Admin rights. Added it as a SharePoint User and gave it read rights.

Ok I found a solution to this but still would like to get people's feed back on security and other ramifactions to the solution. To fix this I added the NETWORK SERVICE account to the administrators group. It seems that OWSTIMER was being denied access to parts of the system. Since it was running using this account, I simply elevated the account. Would it be better to use a different account and keep NETWORK SERVICE as it was?
