Add something like this to your /etc/rc.conf file: syslog_flags="-a 10.1.1.0 -vv" ...on the loghost, where you replace the network address with whatever is appropriate for your case. You'll need to configure /etc/syslog.conf on the loghost to do whatever with the various logging types. On the other FreeBSD boxes, refer to the line with @loghost in syslog.conf. Convincing Win2K to log via syslog is a seperate question, but there are products around which will monitor the event log and send the data to a Unix syslog host via various facilities and such. -- -Chuck
