The above 3 show up on the event logs in .Net Advanced Server, too. I always assumed that this was the 'system' logging on, as even when you log in as local admin, the machine is also logging in as 'system'. The authentication package.. not sure on this one, but as I said, on a clean, unaltered install of .Net AS this is there, so I assume it is needed.

OP
I set up auditing for logon/log off events...
 
As far as I remember it showed up from the start ie clean install (so not likely to be hackers, ditto for Win2000).
 
I've traced it down (I think) to my firewall software which blocks alot of stuff. Not too worry as I clean out the event logs once a week anyhow.
