secure.log

/etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny

 

[vsftp]

/var/log/xferlog

/var/log/vsftpd.log

 

Well, I just read through the vsftpd.conf manpage .

If I wanted to enabled a lot of logging (and pare it down from there), I'd probably set:

Code:

dual_log_enable=YES
log_ftp_protocol=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
syslog_enable=NO

I haven't tested this (and I don't have time at the moment to install vsftpd to do so).

After doing that, reload/restart the vsftpd service.

If logging is still not working correctly, you will need to check the ownership/permissions of your log file. Since you won't be using the syslogd facility, the /var/log/xferlog and /var/log/vsftpd.log files should be owned by the same user that vsftpd runs as.

If you don't know how to determine that, post the results of:
ps -ef | grep vsftpd
