True perhaps but even with a password entered into the installation, it
still does not run at all. Not until I changed it to run on local system
would the service start.

As above, the application log in the event viewer will not log anything
unless it has been started once. Since I couldnt start the service until
changing to run as local system did I get an app log to show up.
Now I have one and now it's running fine.
Except, even though the user /.named is there, this will not work at all.
Also, the system.log and activity.log are reading and writing fine now.
I also updated the entry for the direcory path so it would pick up the
files in a better / proper manner.
Thanks again Danny.
