Hi, I followed the steps that I thought were necessary for logging on FreeBSD as follow: 1- Run inetd by -l switch 2- Do the appropriate steps on the program or deamon you want to log, for example run ftpd with -l switch or set IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE ass yes. 3- Change the /etc/syslog.conf and insert the name of file which is supposed to save the logs, for example: ftpd.* /var/log/ftpd !ipfw *.* /var/log/ipfw 4- Creat the files (i.e. ftpd) so syslogd can write on them. 5- restart inetd and syslogd. But it doesn't work, it still logs the messages (for example) relevant to ftpd on "messages" file and save nothing on other files I defined in syslog.conf. I don't know if there is something left that I have to do to make it works or no. Thanks, Nazila N. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
