>Have you looked at /var/log/auth.log? yes, and as you mentioned in your previous update, it logs the success login (only). Unsuccessfull attempts are being sent to /var/log/messages . So there are 2 separate files. I would like to have all sshd access attempts in one single file - regardless if they are successfull or unsuccessfull. Quotation: "I believe FreeBSD defaults to failed ssh authentication is logged to /var/log/messages while successful authentication is written to /var/log/auth.log." >Can you elaborate on your reasons for running sshd via inetd? I'm curious as I've never even heard of anyone attempting this. When i searched how to setup / configure sshd on internet, i found many hints to start it using inetd. Since it worked for me there was no reason to change it.
