I would suggest the following steps: - Read syslog.conf(5) in detail, until you understand exactly how to configure syslogd. If the facilities and levels seem confusing in the man page, then read up about it in any good book on Unix system administration. - Read the man pages of the individual daemons (ftpd, etc.) that you wish to log to see what they can and cannot tell you (via syslogd). - If a particular daemon will not provide enough information for your liking, then install the tcp_wrappers package and "wrap" the required services behind tcpd. Then read hosts_access(5) to find out how you can get tcpd to log just about anything. You _might_ want to enable the more flexible extensions mentioned in hosts_access(5) by compiling tcpd with -DPROCESS_OPTIONS. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
