FTP Messages and FTP trace entries

If messages and trace entries do not appear in the syslog output file, do one or more of the following:
  • Ensure that syslogd is configured for daemon entries. The file /etc/syslog.conf must have an entry for daemon.info to get FTP messages or an entry for daemon.debug to get FTP messages and trace entries.
  • Ensure that the files specified for daemon entries exist at the time that syslogd started. If not, you need to create the files and recycle syslogd.
  • Ensure that the files specified for daemon entries have appropriate permission bits (for example, 666).
  • Ensure that syslogd is active.

If messages and trace entries display on the system console, it means that syslogd cannot write to the files specified for daemon entries and that /dev/console is defined. Check that syslogd is configured correctly and that the files specified for daemon entries have appropriate permission bits (for example, 666).

If you consider the volume of EZYFT47I messages logged by the server during initialization to be excessive, you can suppress these messages by adding a SUPPRESSIGNOREWARNINGS statement to the server's FTP.DATA. However, if you use this statement, the FTP server does not warn you when it ignores statements coded in FTP.DATA.

Guideline: Add SUPPRESSIGNOREWARNINGS to FTP.DATA only after you have verified all statements in FTP.DATA are correct.
