telnet connections/syslog

[Loretta Marshall]

I have noticed when I check the syslog.log file it will show connections
that are using a telnet session using qvtnet software BUT will not show the
connections using EWAN. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

[Tim Malnati]

It is somewhat unusual for telnet connections to show up in syslog unless the logging facility configuration has been modified. Standard telnet is not particularly product specific either. I'm sort of curious to know if both the products you mention use port 23. My first thought is that the qvtnet is coming in via a different port and invoking some different software on your host. The other thought is that it might be sending some non standard data through during negotiation that is somehow causing syslog to be updated. An example of one of your syslog entries would be helpful too.

You may check if inetd logging is turned on.

I turned it on so that to have info in syslog about incoming connections.

I changed the line
export INETD_ARGS=
in /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons
to
export INETD_ARGS="-l"

Hi Loretta,

Mihails is right for telnet loggings. If you want ftp to be logged, include "-lv" at the end of ftp the line in /etc/inetd.conf file.
Removing them will disable these functions.
