How to force telnetd to log user info into syslog?

[Lev Assinovsky]

Hi All!
I found that in HP-UX 11.00 among the system utilities, using login only 'ftpd' and 'su' logs something
(user, host, etc) into syslog. rlogin, telnet
don't log anything. Is there any way to get
at least user name into syslog from telnet?
Thanks.

Sorry I have no time at the moment to check..
do a man logger to see if can

All the best
Victor

su and ftpd will be logged. login service informations are stored utmp file. We can manage with last command there.

Bad login will be stored in btmp file there. We can audit with lastb command.

Try to write a script to send audited login informations to /var/adm/syslog/login.log like that so that we can keep track informations.

Yes, I can process utmp as well. Not sure
there is a source the user came through
(telnet, rlogin).

If you are looking for when/who logged in maybe you could just use something like this.

who am i -u >> /bigdisk/login_times.txt

I have a box where lots of employees log in from different locations (within the intranet). I needed to see who, when and where. So I put this in their main .profile. This was not for tracking root or any other traditional unix id, just the people using this 3rd party application.

You would want to watch the size the file to make sure it doesn't get too big.
