You have to edit the /etc/inetd.conf file and use the -l (logging) or
the -d (debug) switch for the ftpd daemon (check the man pages for
details).

Ex: ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -l
(make sure you refresh inetd after you make the changes)

Thanks,

Hi *,
          I am trying to enable system logging for all the debug
messages, i
have added a line "*.debug /var/adm/messages" in /etc/syslog.conf and
refresh my syslogd also,but to check whether it is logging or not, i
have
connected to the system using ftp from another system, but the
/var/adm/messages file does not contain any of these ftp messages... Can
someone let me know how to go about..

TIA
