Looking at /var/log/messages of several *nix systems around ... Guess what, there are a lot of non-error messages in /var/log/messages just to inform you about various _events_ > Is that an unreasonable thing to expect from OpenBS/pf? There you are, being hostile again. Why dont you just try to _understand_ what these logs mean? ... xfer_data (server to client): failed (Connection reset by peer) have you read it? It means a data connection is broken. By whom? peer. Hmm, either the client, or the server is closing the connection, probably prematurely. Perhaps I, or another user aborted the connection by ^C or 'stop' button? Some network failure? Whatever. ftp-proxy is just informing you of the event. But I dont want to see it. Perhaps ftp-proxy has a debugging option? man ftp-proxy ... hmm, it does have one, but it is disabled by default I can then redirect ftp-proxy logs to some other file. man syslog.conf There! now I dont need to bother a lot of people with my trivial problems. And I learned a few things too ... See? not too difficult is it? Please try it next time.
