No, adding ftp.* does already include this. The output should go to /var/log/ftp.log. > The man page presently is misleading in that simply adding '-l' or '-ll' to > the ftp entry in the inetd.conf file will NOT cause the desired effect of > logging ftp activity. It doesn't actually claim this: `` -l Each successful and failed ftp(1) session is logged using syslog with a facility of LOG_FTP.'' But i agree, it requires a somewhat seasoned system administrator to notice that several of the LOG_FTP messages might not be logged by default. That's why i think there should be a default entry for ftp.*. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
