> Does anyone know how to get ftpd to log to the syslog directory? > I have ftpd -dl -S, and created the file /var/log/ftpd, I'm not running ftpd myself, but I think your answer probably lies in the man page of syslog.conf At the end of your syslog.conf try putting the lines !ftpd *.* /var/log/ftpd That will log all syslog messages from the ftpd program into /var/log/ftpd BTW, I think I remember reading something about security problems with ftpd. I don't remember the details or the severity, or if it's been fixed, but it might be a good idea to switch to wu-ftpd. Take a look in the ports and/or packages collections. wu-ftpd has a lot more options than regular ftpd.
