After modifying JINETD job to create an FTPLOG file, I still don't get any
entries logged to this file. What am I missing?

someone very quietly posted something about ftp logging on the list a
couple(?)
of weeks ago.  when i read it, i said 'oh really!?!?!' and changed my inetd
job
to....

!#  create the logfile if it doesn't already exist
!continue
!build ftplog.arpa.sys;rec=-256,,f,ascii;disc=4096
!continue
!altsec ftplog.arpa.sys;NEWACD=(R,W,A:@.@)
!run inetd.net.sys
!eoj

some of that should look pretty familiar :-)

oh do tell us more, mark :-)  because....

what's getting logged using the above is pretty darn pitiful.  on my 995 --
which
is ftping constantly -- i've got 15(!!!) entries since november 7th.
