How to log visitors?

[]Unicron[]

Hi all!
Is there a way to log every visitor on your homepage? I'm using Suse7 and Apache.
Also is there a way to log every user who enters my system per telnet etc?
tnx in advance

Apache log every access to your server with access.log which is at /var/log/apache directory. If you want to have the domain rather than the IP, you can also configure Apache to resolve the domain but it burden the server a bit.
I believe you can also log TELNET access but I'm not sure how to check it since I've never run TELNET... I use SSH as an secure alternative...... Hack around at /var/log to see where would it log it. Sorry can't help you there....

HTH....

tnx very much, i found the log file for the apache server :D
and if somebody could tell me how to log telnet users it would be great :cool:

As I've stated before, I don't have much experience with TELNET so I'm purely guessing here.... I don't think you will be able to log TELNET log ins.... Telnet use PAM (plaggable Authentication Modules) to authenticate its users also. So it will log all the access in /var/log/auth.log file. In fact, some of my test shows that it's true. Here is my log entry for two TELNET attemps.
