On NT4 Terminal Server I keep finding ANONYMOUS user logged in the Security event log.

Is this a hack?

What is NT AUTHORITY \ ANONYMOUS? This event is logged when a the password is expired and the user tries to change it during logon. Thus you get no User Name but NT AUTHORITY \ ANONYMOUS written in the log. This error generates calls from Security Admins when they don't understand the meaning of the error. On the surface, it sounds ominous.

Thanks. Recently I think every oddball event is a hack as I have been bitten once.
