ftpd(8) is not logging
Hi! I'm using OpenBSD's ftpd(8), and specified the -l option on the command line when starting it, which according to the man page, makes ftpd(8) to log to syslog with facility LOG_FTP. Well, I've set up syslog.conf to capture that facility to a file: LOG_FTP.* /var/log/ftpd After a `pkill -HUP -x syslogd` unfortunately ftpd(8) won't log anything. Even tried the -ll and -d options with ftpd(8), but no luck. Grepping through ftpd's source, it seems that indeed it tries to log with facility LOG_FTP. /var/log/wtmp gets updated regularly when a login succeeds. What could be the problem here?

Only tabs between entries on a line. -Girish

the relevant entry would be ftp.*. or if ftp.info works for
you, then you don't even need to change syslog.conf.
Argh... yes. You are absolutely right.
$ fgrep LOG_FTP /usr/include/*
/usr/include/syslog.h:#define LOG_FTP (113) /* ftp daemon */
/usr/include/syslog.h: { ftp,LOG_FTP },
I hope next time I'll be more mindful.
Thanks!
Daniel
