anonymous login question


I have been able to setup proftpd to allow anonymous logins.

Now what I want to do is check the email addresses used for the password.

The reason I want to do this is that I have several servers that are using autoupdate to download updates from a central server, autoupdate can be set to use any password.

I want to set each server to a different password and then be able to check the logs on the central server to see which servers connected to get their updates and which didn't.

Does anyone know where or how to turn on the logging of the passwords used by the anonymous user?

The problem is that proftp omits passwords in the logs by default. You need to override this using the customlog config tag and specify that you want the PASS command logged. Of course this represents a potential security issue with your log, but this is obvious, i suppose. Check this out:
