question about log file of sftp and SSH

**dhaka** · 11-23-2004, 06:55 AM

HI,
Recently I had installed knoppix in a computer (HD installation) which I like to use as a server. I am able to use the SSH and sftp to that computer from other windows computer. I am using the putty and psftp for that.

My question is, where the log file is stored in knoppix. I like to know,
(1) From which computer/ IP and
(2) When that been accessed or loged in

Is there any log file for SSH and sftp. I am a new user of SSH and sftp. I had read many manual/FAQ on net but I can't get any information regarding log file.

Anybody know any good link about this?

Looking forward.

(I really fall in love with knoppix like you!)

On my system, sshd logs logins to /var/log/auth.log (but this is configurable via /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/syslog.conf).

OK, use the standard "last" command. You may have to enable wtmp though (e.g. add a "touch /var/log/wtmp" in a boot startup script - maybe add it to /etc/init.d/sshd?).
