has anyone noticed that syslog stops logging when ftpd logs in an
anonymous ftp user?  i have tracked the problem to the chroot system
call. prior to chroot() syslog works as advertized. once the chroot()
is executed inside tftpd, however, syslog calls no longer get
recorded. 

any ideas?

here are some system specifics.
	sunOS 4.0.3
	bsd ftpd 4.xx or sunof ftpd
