Thanks for helping out!

We don't allow anonymous access to the page. That is - we have unchecked the
box "Enable anonymous access" on the "Directory Security" tab on the website
configuration. How do I do it then?

Is it maybe still the |USR-MACHINENAME account that tries to write to the log?

Thanks!
