Hi

In our company user will use FTP to transfer the file from one server to another server.if i (admin)want to find out what command has been used by the user.

For this we want to edit in /etc/xinetd.conf if i am correct.but i don know exactly what i want to do in /etc/xinetd.conf.
will you able help me in this one.

Thanks in advance
 
You could try to enable syslogd by adding the following to /etc/syslogd.conf

1) In /etc/syslog.conf, add the line:
daemon.debug /tmp/daemon.log

2) # touch /tmp/daemon.log
# refresh -s syslogd

3) Modify your inetd.conf so that ftpd is called with the "-l" flag.
You may also want the "-d" flag. This can be done with 'smit inetdconf'.

All the syslog messages from various system daemons should now appear in
the file "/tmp/daemon.log".
