Can I get ftpd to log usage? I've put an anonymous ftp archive
on my a/ux mac temporarily, and would like to keep track of amount
of usage (and computer names of users if possible).
According to manual page for ftpd, there is a flag to cause it to log
usage (-l). But ftpd is called by inetd, as indicated by the field
in the file /etc/servers. The man page for inetd says nothing about
how to feed command-line flags to the deamons that it runs. I tried
putting commands on that line, but no luck.
ftpd(1M) ftpd(1M)
NAME
ftpd - Internet File Transfer Protocol server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/in.ftpd [-d] [-l] [-ttimeout]
This is where inetd looks for deamon to associate with ftp port:
cricket % cat /etc/servers
ftp tcp /usr/etc/in.ftpd
telnet tcp /usr/etc/in.telnetd
...
This does not work (or should it?):
cricket % cat /etc/servers
ftp tcp /usr/etc/in.ftpd -l >> /tmp/ftp.log
...
