Thanks all for your help. The  -l commands work great, here's the =
problem. I came back this morning and found that the ftplog file only =
recorded data for few minutes and there was no more data. I know that =
FTP is heavily used on my site for posting purposes but the ftplog file =
showed no more than few minutes. All commands and processes are working =
fine. Thanks,
VJ

Hi Dan,

Can you shed light on why my FTP daemon not writing FTP logins in my =
ftplog
file. I have my FTP account enabled in my syslog.conf file and syslogd =
is
running.

54148  ??  Ss     0:16.13 /usr/libexec/ftpd -D

84598  ??  Ss     0:03.73 /usr/sbin/syslogd -m 0

!ftpd
*.*                                             /var/log/ftp.log

A few things for starters:

1. Try adding the -l option to enable connection logging. Add it twice =
to
include get, store, cmd info as well.

2. Check to make sure those are tabs and not spaces in the syslog.conf
entry.

3. Make sure the /var/log/ftp.log file actually exists. It won't create =
it
on it's own, so you may need to do a touch on the file and then restart
syslogd.
