I actually installed evtsys and snare so I can dump Event Log of NT to a 
unix box. I got both working to send messages to my FreeBSD syslog. But of 
course, I was just testing w/c one is better. 

It seems to me that monitoring logs is a little bit a pain in the neck. If I 
would go for "dumping logs" into a database, are there any available check 
script for this? 

Thanks for the idea.
