If you install the tcpwrappers port (or package), you can accomplish this. Plus you can display any banner you wish whenever someone telnets, ftps, or fingers your machine. To do this, install tcpwrappers, then create a file called /usr/local/etc/hosts.allow. This is how mine looks: telnetd: ALL : banners /usr/local/etc/banners/ ftpd: ALL : banners /usr/local/etc/banners/ fingerd: ALL : banners /usr/local/etc/banners/ Then, for each program that you specified a banner for, create the required banner. In my example, my banners reside in /usr/local/etc/banners. A banner is simply a text file that will be displayed whenever a specified connection is made to your machine. This is optional for the logging, but cool none-the-less. To get syslog logging to work, edit /etc/inetd.conf for the daemons you wish to log. For me, I just log ftp and telnet, so my /etc/inetd.conf looks like this: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/tcpd ftpd -l telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/tcpd telnetd Now every telnet connection, regardless of a successful login (and every ftp connection) will be logged by syslogd.
