PIX Syslog for Win2000

Does anyone know of a Windows syslog utility that can run under W2K and be started as a service? My customer is running the Kiwi Syslog Daemon, which is an excellent package, but apparently cannot be started as a service - they don't want to leave the server logged in all the time in order to get continuous logging. A PIX-aware package like Kiwi would be ideal, but it would be sufficient just to get basic syslog message archiving.

Thanks

It's not free, but Opensystems makes a product called PrivateI, which runs as a service. It gives you much more than just a simple syslog (alerting, reporting, remote web access, filtering, enhanced queries, etc.)........ I would avoid this product however if you plan to deploy it in a large-scale network, as it does not scale all that well, and the last few releases are buggy. Unfortunately, this is not a market with lots of competition, so you this is probably the best you're going to get if you willing to pay.

Kiwi will run as a service on Win2K - You just need to have the correct version. Launch the Syslog console and one of the menu options is "Install As Service"

Thanks, I was not aware of that.

Check out winsyslog.com Not bad for 50.00 bucks. If you need more look at solarwinds or the ultimate, Ciscoworks...
