Thanks to all who responded, and especially to John Heiden and Ric
Anderson for suggestions on tracking this down.

The answer was to add this line to the syslog.conf file:
daemon.info				/var/adm/messages

Now I get messages about ftp access.

Thanks again everyone.

Original messages follows:

The cyber security people here came down and dinged me because my
Solaris 7 system didn't have the 23 line banner coming up that warned
people of dire consequences should they be unauthorized to continue.  It
was suggested that I get the TCP_Wrappers package and get it working on
my systems.

I got the 7.6 version, got it compiled, changed the inetd.conf file as
called for, got the banner file created, and bingo, I have an approved
banner popping up when I ftp to that system.  Nevermind that I am the
only one who ever ftp's into it, that is besides the point.

So what is the problem?  The documentation says that ftp attempts and
successes are logged to a file.  I can't find any file with any such
info.  Where could it be going?  The syslogd service is running, and
this is the syslog.conf file.

    #
    *.err;kern.notice;auth.notice   /dev/sysmsg
    *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages
    auth.notice     /var/adm/secure.log
    #info.*
/var/adm/allmessages

    *.alert;kern.err;daemon.err   operator
    *.alert      root

    *.emerg      *

    mail.debug   ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)

I've looked in all the files listed, and there is nothing in any of them
on ftp access.  I have rebooted since setting up the tcp_wrappers, and
still can't find anything.

Any help would be appreciated.
