Hello,

When looking at the Security log (W2K, SP4), I see the 528 event for
when a user logs on but I'm not seeing a matching 538 for the logoff.

I've double-checked the Local Security Policy | Local Policies | Audit
Policies | Audit Logon Events and both the effective setting and local
settings are set to Success and Failure.

In...

...this is described as a bug but that isn't very helpful. Does anyone
know more as to why this is happening? Is there a fix? or is this
something I have to deal with?

Thanks!
