cd /sbin/init.d

syslogd stop

syslogd start

When you reboot your system, each log ﬁle is moved to filename.old

automatically, and new log ﬁles are started.

Conﬁguring inetd Connection Logging

The inetd daemon logs connection requests through syslogd. It logs

successful connections at the information level and unsuccessful

connection attempts at the notice level. By default, inetd starts up

with connection logging turned off.

If inetd is running with connection logging turned off, issue the

following command to invoke it:

/usr/sbin/inetd -l

If inetd is running with connection logging turned on, the same

command turns it off. For more information, type man 1M inetd at the

HP-UX prompt.

Conﬁguring ftpd Session Logging

To conﬁgure ftpd to log messages about an ftp session, including

commands, logins, login failures, and anonymous ftp activity, complete

the following steps:

1. Add the -l option to the ftp line in the /etc/inetd.conf ﬁle, as in

the following example:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l

2. Issue the following command to force inetd to read its conﬁguration

ﬁle:

/usr/sbin/inetd -c

For more information, type man 1M ftpd at the HP-UX prompt. This

manpage contains a complete list of error messages.
