- I haven't found a way to require passwords from anonymous FTP, but I do
- log the FTP traffic on my machine. In your TCPSTART.CMD file, change
- start inetd
- to
- start /min inetd >> d:\usr\tcpip\inetd.log
- This has two effects; first, the session is started as an icon rather
- than a window session (can be done for all but NFSSTART), and all console
- output goes to the inetd.log file. This gives attempts and logins for
- FTP. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to log TELNET sessions. So, I
- modified the logunix.exe program to do that for me. Does the password
- check and logs the user name/password into a log file. Someone brighter
- might be able to write one that grabbed the TCP/IP address as well.
