The following reply was made to PR bin/1559; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill <bill@wagill.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: bin/1559 Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 01:03:31 -0700 In relation to Problem Report 'bin/1559': I researched this problem and found the following: 1. Regarding the '-l' and '-ll' switches: The 'ftpd' daemon issues ftp activity log messages with a facility of LOG_FTP and a level of LOG_INFO; well, the "stock" 'syslog.conf' file does not have an entry to write messages with either a facility of LOG_FTP nor a level of LOG_INFO. I "solved" the problem by adding a 'ftp.*' line to my syslog.conf file. However, in my opinion, the ultimate solution is to change the syslog level in 'ftpd' to be at least LOG_NOTICE for activity logged with the -l and -ll switches. Incidentally, adding '*.info' to syslog.conf will flood your messages file with truly informational-only, and NOT noteworthy, messages. 2. Regarding the -S switch: The ftpd daemon only logs to '/var/log/ftpd' anonymous ftp *transfers* (ie: store and retrieve), and NOT anonymous ftp *accesses* (ie: log-ins and directory listings). - Bill.
