[KLUG Members] ProFTPD logging

[Benjamin Stuart]

The majority of the users (those that do not have their own domain) will be ftp'ing to ftp.xxxxx.net.  So what I really need is somewhat of a "dynamic" solution.  I don't really have any desire to create seperate TransferLog directives for thousands of users :)

So, yes, specifying the absolute path will work, but it is not really what I'm looking for at this point. 

Of course it may turn out that is my only solution...

Any reason you cannot specify the absolute path?

ie: TransferLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/ftp.kilbournes.com-ftp_log

that works for me.....
