I have been browsing around the 'Net and according to Phoneboy's
FireWall-1 FAQ, FW-1 4.1 processes should run as Administrator, NOT the
Local System Account... Is this true, could this be the problem with the
log daemon dying every two hours because of file locks?? I am more of a
Unix guy than Windows so please excuse any ignorance of Windows systems
accounts...
Thanks in advance!!
