Hi

We are using ProFTPD and for some reason it shows messages in shell when we log in as root. Is there anyway of removing this?

Example message:

Feb 3 22:12:53 212 proftpd[2363]: 212.73.244.31 (62.30.255.27[62.30.255.27]) - USER test: Login successful.


Thanks, Steven.

Steven,

When you say that message is "showing in the shell", what do you mean? That message should come out in your messages log.

Hi

Whenever we login to shell as root these messages appear on the screen. So say if we are typing something this just appear there out of no where.

Thanks, Steven.

hmm,

Sounds like something is not setup correctly in /etc/syslog.conf and the messages are coming out on the console instead of going to syslog.

From man proftpd:

Each successful and failed ftp(1) session is logged using syslog with a facility of LOG_FTP. Note: LOG_FTP messages are not displayed by syslogd(8) by default, and may have to be enabled in syslogd(8)'s configuration file.
