<p><b>Preamble</b></p>
<p>I wrote and tested this patch on all openssh-3.(5+)p+ software on Redhat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, ES2.1, AS2.1, AS3.0, and Fedora Core 2.
It has also been reported to work under other operating systems. See the
<a href="../download/README">README</a>
in the download section for details.
I have received emails from people on the ssh mailing list who said that it also works on
Solaris and on Redhat 9, but I haven't confirmed this myself. However, the patch does not use any
operating-system specific system calls, so if you are able to compile openssh on your system, the patch
should work.
<p> If you successfully use the patch on a different operating system or with a different version of
openssh, I'd like to hear about it: <a href=mailto:mikem@nmt.edu>mikem@nmt.edu</a>.
<p> If the patch fails to compile or work, let me know.
<p><b>Basic Installation</b></p>
<p> To install this patch you will need: <br>
- the GNU "patch" program<br>
- the source code for openssh-3.xpx
<p>
1. Unpack the openssh source (/path/to/openssh-3.xp1) <br>
2. download the patch and put it in /path/to (don't stick it in the openssh directory) <br>
3. run: "patch -p0 < openssh-3.xp1.sftplogging.patch" <br>
4. compile openssh with your normal compile options <br>
5. edit /etc/syslog.conf to if you're using ftp logging
<p><b>Installation with chroot-ssh patch</b>
<p>Many users use this patch in conjunction with the chroot-ssh and
chroot-sftp-server patches. You may need to perform the following: make a /path/to/chroot/dev/log and run syslogd -a /path/to/chroot/dev/log, because your chroot environment will need
its own /dev/log. More detailed instructions are provided in the
<a href="../download/README">README</a>
in the download section.
<p><b>Usage</b></p>
<p> Everything you need to use it is included in the man pages. Basically, there are six new
directives at your disposal in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:<br>
<b>LogSftp <br>
SftpLogfacility <br>
SftpLogLevel<br>
SftpUmask<br>
SftpPermitChmod<br>
SftpPermitChown</b>
<p>For more info, see man sftp-server (8) and man sshd_config (5).
