Hi Gentoo-users, I have strange problem: I want to collect vsftpd-logs by syslog-ng, so I added this single line at the end of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf:
syslog_enable=YES Then I restarted vsftpd, but now I can not connect to it! I do not get login/password prompt, all I see is: $ ftp 10.0.0.173 Connected to 10.0.0.173 (10.0.0.173). 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_cmd ftp> I removed that above mentioned line from vsftpd-config, restarted vsftpd, tried again. And everything works as expected. So the problem is caused by that single line. But why "syslog_enable" option does not work? Apart from that my vsftpd.conf is default as it comes with vsftpd-installation, nothing changed. The same is true for syslog-ng.conf. I noticed one more strange thing: whenever I restart vsftpd (/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart), I see messages on the screen but nothing is saved to /var/log/messages (or to any other log-file). When I restart any other service (i.e. sshd, sendmail, bind), corresponding message is recorded to /var/log/messages. Why is it not so in case of vsftpd? It seems to me vsftpd has problem accessing /dev/log... Jarry -- _______________________________________________________________ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!
