Hi all, 

I need some help to set up anonymous ftp on an 120 running 3.3. 
Any help, detailed info etc. highly appreciated. 

Details: 
I want to set up a anonymous ftp account with logging and 
timeouts enabled. man pages says that ftpd is started according 
to the entries in inetd.conf. My entry there looks as follows: 

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/ftpd ftp -l -d -t 2 -T 10 

.. but the damned ftp does not do any logging to the syslog. 
AHA, it is the syslog which needs to be configured. So I wrote a 
syslog.conf: 

*.debug; *.emerg; *.warning; *.err; *.notice; *.info /usr/adm/logfile

and still, nothing happens. 

Further, I want to set up the ftp in a way that it automatically 
uses ASCII mode, and reports a file which I define. 
Funny enough, it currently starts up in BINARY and reports a README file in 
the ~/ftp directory without being asked for... 

Is there any further help I might have missed than in man pages 
of ftp, syslog, inetd, or elsewhere ? 

Regards, 
Reinhard
