Matt and Pure-ftp community, thanks for the response. This is exactly
what I was looking for. I was going to start a new thread on this but
maybe I can ask this question here (save all some extra e-mails). I need
to obtain some "trending" of ftp server load in terms of number of users
logged in at different time during a typical workday. Does pure FTP
allow you to do anything along these lines (high-low-average user load)
or do I need to look at alternative methods?

Thanks.

SLES 10 uses syslog-ng.  Here's what I have in my syslog-ng.conf file.

filter f_ftp        { level(notice, info, warn, err, crit) and 
facility(ftp); };
destination ftp { file("/var/log/ftp"); }; log { source(src);
filter(f_ftp); destination(ftp); };

This will filter out the appropriate levels of ftp and put them in
/var/log/ftp

Matt
