Hi Dan,

Can you shed light on why my FTP daemon not writing FTP logins in my ftplog
file. I have my FTP account enabled in my syslog.conf file and syslogd is
running.

54148  ??  Ss     0:16.13 /usr/libexec/ftpd -D

84598  ??  Ss     0:03.73 /usr/sbin/syslogd -m 0

!ftpd
*.*                                             /var/log/ftp.log

A few things for starters:

1. Try adding the -l option to enable connection logging. Add it twice to
include get, store, cmd info as well.

2. Check to make sure those are tabs and not spaces in the syslog.conf
entry.

3. Make sure the /var/log/ftp.log file actually exists. It won't create it
on it's own, so you may need to do a touch on the file and then restart
syslogd.
