FYI we are successfully using ntsyslog on a fairly large scale. We only
use it on Win2K and Win2K3 servers - but have had no real problems with
it (there was a trick with Win2K3 where we had to stop and restart the
service straight after the install to actually get it working - but
other than that). Just because it's old doesn't mean it's broken - it
actually appears to mean it's bug-free.
