Presently all my proftpd logging goes to /var/log/messages but it is clogging that file because I have an ftp login every couple of minutes. I want to redirect proftpd logging. I tried putting proftpd:* /var/log/proftpd.log in my /etc/syslog.conf but syslogd complains; syslogd: unknown facility name "proftpd" looking at the man page for proftpd is says; Each successful and failed ftp(1) session is logged using syslog with a facility of LOG_FTP. Note: LOG_FTP messages are not displayed by sys- logd(8) by default, and may have to be enabled in syslogd(8)'s configu- ration file. So I tried; LOG_FTP:* /var/log/proftpd.log still no go. I am unfamiliar with logging. Can someone help me along here? --
