Hi,

Where can I find FTP log location for AIX 4?

Thanks,
Itik

I assume you want FTP daemon logging, which is logged nowhere by default. You would start the daemon with special flags, and then set the logfile location in syslog.conf:

ftpd Daemon

Hope that helps.

Syslog and FTP

Logging can also improve security on your system by adding additional logging to the
syslog.conf file. We than can increase system logging by adding extra logging for your system
by editing inetd.conf and adding logging into each of the demons as required.

This is an example of how to improve logging on your system

vi syslog.conf
*.info /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.alert /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.notice /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.warning /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.err /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.crit /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log rotate time 1d files 9


In your cas you also want to add logging for FTP

Extra logging on demons in controlled by inetd.conf can be configured
vi /inetd.con
ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd –l

Logging can be added to many of the components in inetd.conf.

Make sure to create the files for syslog other wise no logging will be done
> /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Also refesh syslogd and inetd once you are done
