"dirmessage_enable" I know how to enable it within vsftpd.conf .... What I am trying to find is the allowable format and available variables/tokens that can be used within the .message file (or whatever). The tcpwrapper tokens do not seem to do anything (%c or %h or ...). As stated in the original message, for example, I would like the welcome message to insert the appropriate values for the indicated tokens. cat welcome.message Welcome %U from %R to the ftp server. We have %N connections at %T. All activities are logged. I have looked at all the vsftpd doco without success and am beginning to think that vsftpd is token challenged. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
