Hello,

The current HP-UX ftpd implementation does not offer this possibility. You only are able to save the logs from all the daemons (including ftpd) running on your server to another log file like this (edit /etc/syslogd.conf and restart syslogd):

*.info;mail.none;daemon.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
daemon.* /var/adm/syslog/daemon.log

Also, you can use another ftp daemon like proftpd:

http://www.proftpd.org/

That will provide you the facility to redirects all logging output to the specified file. (see SystemLog directive - read the docs)

You have to compile it on your server or you can use an older version already compiled for HP-UX from porting archive:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Networking/FTP/proftpd-1.3.2b/

But it is an old version.

Hi Rajesh,

(edit /etc/syslogd.conf and restart syslogd):

after that did you restart the "syslodg" ?

/sbin/init.d/syslogd stop
/sbin/init.d/syslogd start

rgds,

You have a problem...

>daemon.*/var/adm/syslog/daemon.log

The file /etc/syslog.conf must respect a pattern. There must be TABs between the fields

Between daemon.* and /var you must insert TABs.

As usual, read man pages:

man syslogd

>but still same problem

What exactly is your "same problem"? Do you get the file: /var/adm/syslog/daemon.log ?

Did you restarted the syslogd daemon afther you have re-configured it?

This is informational.

>Mar 11 13:35:22 server1 ftpd[9334]: FTP >session closed
>Mar 11 13:35:34 server1 ftpd[9507]: User >rajesh: Login incorrect

Try with local5 facility.

*.info;mail.none;daemon.none;local5.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

local5.info /var/adm/syslog/ftp.log

or even

local5.* /var/adm/syslog/local5.log
