ftp access on syslogd

[Benedetto Mangiapane]

Hi,
is possible to view, users ftp IP address on syslogd, adding a local*.info into syslog.conf?
More simply...
When a user from one system (S1), open ftpd session to another system (S2), on S2 syslog.log is possible to trace a IP address of S1?

Thanks.
Regards.

in the file /etc/inetd.conf add the -l (el) option after the ftpd entry.
Then do a inetd -c for re-reading inetd config.

Then all will be logged in syslog.

Entry in /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l

For RolandH,
Its just my configuration...
In my inetd.conf there is:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -a
but not IP address appears in syslog.log...

Only a pid appears...

Benedetto,

Please change the "l" (elle) to "L".

Hope this helps...

Dwayne, If you use the L option you have the potential of logging users passwords into syslog. This can occur if the user doesn't pay attention to the ftp prompts, thus the "l" option is fine.

Not are -l or -L the right way, because these options not put into a syslog.log the information of IP address of client system!
...
What is the right way?
Bye.
