Pure-ftpd: log IP adresses

  • 772

I've got question about pure-ftpd server, I'm running. I want to setup it to log IP addresses instead of hostnames, but none of configuration works.

I tried:

  • Writing "yes" or "1" to /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DontResolve (as I found somewhere)
  • Running with -H argument as it is in docs

I tried also restart service after change but without change.

None of it works and my auth.log looks still the same:

Aug 18 19:46:38 vps pure-ftpd: pam_unix(pure-ftpd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=pure-ftpd ruser=webmaster rhost=is-being-WHORED-by.TAUG-Clan.com

It shows the reason I want to see the IP. I receive many attempts to login with obfuscated hostname and Fail2Ban can't stop it.

I'm using version 1.0.28-3+squeeze1 from Debian repositories. Is problem with my installation, or I'm doing something wrong?

  1. I'm using pure-ftpd 1.0.35 Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS. Don't work

    echo 'yes' > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DontResolve

    The parameter 'DontResolve' changes '/var/log/syslog' but it don't change '/var/log/auth.log'. So for Fail2ban

    # nano jail.local
[pure-ftpd]

enabled  = true
port     = ftp,ftp-data,ftps,ftps-data
filter   = pure-ftpd
#logpath  = /var/log/auth.log
logpath  = /var/log/syslog
maxretry = 6
