While I'll admit it takes some tweaking for the purpose, I'm surprised 
no one has mentioned bugzilla.  It's a little bit of work to setup as a 
helpdesk trouble ticket system, but it does work at the task reasonably 
well.  When I put it up here there wasn't as much to choose from that 
provided the flexibility we needed then.  The only real grief I've seen 
is the multiple checks required to fully close a ticket (bug) are a bit 
much for a typical helpdesk.  They make perfect sense when dealing with 
software bugs... 8^)

We've been looking at replacing it with something less complex but 
haven't found anything yet that makes it worth the trouble for us to 
change.  Try several and find the one that works for you.
