UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hi,

i want to log all ftp actions. i read that if you start the ftpd with ftpd -l, the ftp will log everything to a log file. i tried to change the syslog.conf and added
LOG_FTP /var/log/ftpd
so that he should log everything that has to do with ftp to that log file. but he still logs everything to /var/log/message.log.
what do i have to do?

thx for help

Did you restart syslogd? And does the /var/log/ftpd file already exist?

i created the file and after i modified syslog.conf i made a reboot.

yess it works

i dont know how i made it but it works

thx 4 help

but he only logs the connections. how do i log if anyone creats a directory or delets a file ?
