Browse All TopicsOn FreeBSD 6.2, how to I enable logging for FTP? I would like to see entries for successful logins, transfers, and failed attempts. So far, all I can find is "repeated login failures from xxx" in /var/log/xferlog, but nothing for individual login attempts, etc.
I have tried adding the following to /etc/syslog.conf:
ftp.* /var/log/ftpd
but nothing ever shows up in /var/log/ftpd.
FTP is running as a standalone daemon (not via inetd). I am using the default FTP daemon included with FreeBSD 6.2 (version 6.00LS).
