Hi! I enabled auditing in a 2k Member server, and I keep
getting logs like this:

Event Type: Success Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Logon/Logoff
Event ID: 538
Date: 22-05-2002
Time: 16:27:56
User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON
Computer: SCRBMSAOLAD001
Description:
User Logoff:
         User Name: ANONYMOUS LOGON
         Domain: NT AUTHORITY
         Logon ID: (0x0,0x3188D8)
         Logon Type: 3

I read an article in security focus saying something about
an anonymous account being used by IIS: "(...)but I will
just call him 'Null' in order to avoid confusion with
the 'anonymous' account impersonation used by IIS".

Could this be just that or should I be concerned?.

Thanks in advance.
