 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).
