do a man on ftpaccess and ftpd. If you don't use ftpaccess then you can set the -l -L and other options in /etc/inetd.conf, otherwise if you use ftpaccess you need to set the "log" directive.

Hi Manu

Check the entries in /etc/shells.

It should have the entry of the shell used by root. Check the shell from /etc/passwd.

Hope this helps
