Question Montoring FTP Users
Hello,

I am running Rh Linux 8 and vsftp as my ftp server.

How do I montor users that are login to the ftp servers?
Is this even possible? When I issue the w or who command it shows only login users to the server but doesn't show anything regarding ftp.


Thanks

last command will show you user's that login through ftp session.

or

if you modify /etc/inetd.conf with ftpd -l this is cause all ftp session to be logged /var/adm/messages or any other log file you wish

for example on my solaris machine

I have the following entry in /etc/inetd.conf

ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/local/in.ftpd in.ftpd -l

this make my machine log any ftp session including user name

I hope this help
