Subject: [991] Problems with command logging

The README that comes with wu-ftpd states that it will/can do logging
of commands and transfers. Transfer logging works but no matter what
I try, I can not get command logging working. I would really appreciate
some help as someone keeps deleting my pub dir and others. The
version I am using is wu-2.3(4). Would going to 2.4 help? The FIXES-2.4
file does not seem to indicate this.

Hi Keven,

Though I am using wu-ftpd2.4, I don't see that my advise can't apply to you.
In order to activate command logging (I am assuming you have made the correct
entry in ftpaccess) you must edit /etc/syslog.conf adding the following line,
	daemon.info		/<pathname>/<filename>
then restart the syslog daemon by doing the following,
	kill -HUP <pid_of_syslogd>
That should get things started up for you. You might also consider revoking
deletion privileges to all ftp-ers.

Hope this helps,

PCVS

Hi There,
wu-ftpd2.4 do not implement the command logging feature, the only way to get a track of users commands is to start the ftpd with the -L and -d options, this is can be done by adding these options in the inetd.conf file and then by setting up the syslog.cf file so that you can get the complete trace (even the users non crypted passwd !!) in a log file.
