Bruteblock

[Grant Peel]

Ruben,

>From the docs for proftpd:

"By default, proftpd will log via syslog(3), using the daemon facility (auth 
for some logging), at various levels: err, notice, warn, info, and debug 
(debugging is done at this syslog level). The location of the server's log 
files in this case is determined by your /etc/syslog.conf configuration. "

"If the site administrator wants to have proftpd log its messages to a file 
rather than going through syslogd, the SystemLog configuration directive is 
the one to use. There is only one such file kept for the entire daemon. See 
the ServerLog directive for keeping a similar log on a per-vhost basis. "

The docs go on to say that if the system admin opts to use the SystemLog 
directive, the default (syslog, auth and authprive) will automaticly be 
disabled. Logging to syslog is the default.

CHeers,

-Grant
