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

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
