Using the LOG_AUTH facility
Hi,

I am wanting to enable logging of all ftp sessions on my Solaris 8 host. I want to at least log all ftp logins and if possible any commands that the user executes.

I have tried various settings in syslog.conf then rereading syslogd but logging still does not happen.

I have tried extensive searches on this topic but have failed to find the answer.

I would appreciate any help.

Regards,
BLP

You need to restart the ftpd daemon and add the -l option.

This will add logging and copy information to syslog.log. Here is from the man page for ftpd.

-l Causes each FTP session to be logged in the syslog file.


This is the same concept as inetd -l which does the same thing.
