Yes, due to Entry "xferlog_std_format=YES" in config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf" will force vsftpd to log into /var/log/xferlog, instead of /var/log/vsftpd.log. So either of these should be done: 1. Log to /var/log/vsftpd.log. Then #xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log line in vsftpd.conf should be uncommented by default. 2. Log to /var/log/xferlog. Then /etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd.log should be changed as per above comment. In either case a comment should be added in vsftpd.conf above xferlog_std_format=YES line: # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format # Note that default logging location is changed to /var/log/xferlog in this case. xferlog_std_format=YES Hi, There is one possible solution: Make value of xferlog_std_format to be "NO" as default configuration. Is this what you want ? Thanks Yes, it's one of the solutions, but I actually like xferlog format more. If I could choose, I would choose item 1 above. In any case (even if xferlog_std_format is made NO) the comment should be added. I asked upstream to apply the following patch: --- vsftpd.conf.orig 2005-05-21 01:52:54.000000000 +0300 +++ vsftpd.conf 2007-06-19 15:15:03.196843999 +0300 @@ -50,7 +50,8 @@ # below. #xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log # -# If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format +# If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format. +# Note that the default log file location is /var/log/xferlog in this case. #xferlog_std_format=YES # # You may change the default value for timing out an idle session. You may want to apply it locally until upstream incorporates it. Upstream doesn't answer to my emails. I added this comment to default vsftpd.conf to devel version (vsftpd-2.0.5-18.F8). I don't consider this bug so important to make changes in FC6. Thanks for patch Upstream must have added a comment only, because they don't have xferlog_std_format=YES by default. As we have, xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log should also be uncommented by default according to Comment #1 1. And this change should probably be backported to F7 too, as now log files are not rotated and keep growing. |

(Due to Entry "xferlog_std_format=YES" in config file "/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf" will force vsftpd to log into /var/log/xferlog ,instead of /var/log/vsftpd.log) The bug have been fixed in RHEL, but _NOT_ Fedora Core.
