Hi,

I could easily be confused here, so I excuse me if I'm showing my ignorance...

When I installed 2.1.0-RELEASE I had sysintall setup an anonymous ftp site
for me.  It created the dirs, etc., and a line in /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/libexec/ftpd	ftpd -l

I expected this to cause logging somewhere in /var/log/* but could find
no traces of any ftp activity.  Examining /etc/syslog.conf I couldn't find
anything to cause ftp logging so I added:

!ftpd
*.*						/var/log/ftpd

to /etc/syslog.conf and did 'kill -HUP <syslogd_pid> and ftp logging started
to work.

question #1: is it a 'bug' for inetd.conf to attempt to do ftpd logging while
             syslogd.conf doesn't seem to co-operate?  stated another way,
             should sysinstall also modify syslogd.conf?

question #2: did I do the right mod to syslogd.conf to start ftpd logging?
