I was wrong,  Remote Desktop on XP uses Type 10, while in 2000 it would use Type 2.  The only other mention I found producing this error was logging in through a KVM IP switch.  I don't suppose that workstation has had one of those installed.

Thanks.  I tried RootkitRevealer, it found nothing.  I have not tried the
other tools yet.

But back to the question:  Could a rootkit allow an attacker to log in over
the network and yet have it show up as a console logon in the security log?
This is really a question about the Windows security log and what it means.
