Hi there,

I think there maybe more people are interested in this issue.
My question is : Is there a way to log any ftp or telnet session?

Thanks,

What information about these sessions do you want to log?

Thanks for reply. The information I want to know is : when the session begins, how long it lasts, from where, which user.

Thanks,

Try the last command. Redirect the output if you want to log it.

This is how I log ftp traffic. Try it on a test system first

1. modify /etc/syslog.conf by adding:

daemon.debug /mydir/mylogname.log

(make sure the directory exists)

2. smit inetdconf and add the -d flag to the ftp daemon

( this adds the -d to to inetd.conf )

3. refresh the daemons
refresh -s inetd
refresh -s syslogd
