by when I changed to the patched wu-ftpd, the log appeared in /var/log/xferlog
I wondered for a long time where it went, and looked in there out of curiousity
one day after doing ls /var looking for something else. My one complaint about
linux is that everything keeps moving around. I picked up several variants on
the source to tcl/tk and each one had different paths, with the packager
giving their rationale for moving everything around, finally I went to the raw
source, and was able to compile fine. I recently recompiled wu-ftpd, and the
log file moved back to /var/adm/xferlog. Here is the section on linux from the
"Driving your OS to the store:"
LINUX - The developers have been here overnight and changed everything
again. You wonder what the new cattle-catcher front end and rear gun
turret are for. Car won't start. Hot-wire the ignition. No oil
pressure. Add oil. Bad backfire, injection system needs adjusting.
Check manual - nope, manual's three months out of date. Tune injectors
by ear. Stereo is missing the left channel, tire pressure seems low,
needs a good wax job ... the hell with it, I'm gonna stay home and play
with the car ...
