After a long fight I've managed to convince my higher powers that 
connections to the outside world are a Good Thing. However, they
want us to have a 6 month trial, after which we will review its
usage. So, I'm looking for a way of getting ftp (and possibly
telnet and rlogin, but these aren't so important) to log:

	o who invoked it
	o from what machine it was invoked
	o where did it connect to
	o what was downloaded

I've thought about doing this with by writing a shell script wrapper to
ftp but I'm sure someone somewhere must already have done it.

Can someone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks

Paul.

       Is all that we or see or seem but a dream within a dream ?
