enable ftp loging for root

[Manu_13]

Hi,

the ftpusers file does not have entry for root. still the ftp loging for root fails? how do i enable ftp login for root?

cheers,
manu

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.

i need to enable longin, not logging. there was a spelling mistake.

cheers,

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

there was no /etc/shells file. i created it and restarted the inetd. it worked.
