Rshd requests logging

I would like to log requests to rshd on OSR 5.0.7, hopefully it is possible.

Requests are coming from client Windows PCs, it all works most of the time, but few PCs are not able to do it.

I am not sure where to start - do I tweak syslog.conf? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Your post is confusing.
You ask if it is possible to log requests, and in the next sentence say that it works most of the time. What works most of the time, the logging or the request?
Are the failures always from the same machines, and if so what is different about these?

ITYM most but not all ssh logins do work.
I don't know your OS, so here is a general hint for Unix systems:
Ensure your sshd_config has SyslogFacility auth ,
then its standard log level is auth.info .
Enable this one in syslog.conf.
For even more info, you can change log level in syslog.conf to auth.debug .

ro jqt:
the rsh connections are working most of the time, I try to troubleshoot those unsuccessfyl ones

to madeingermany:
it is SCO OSR 5.0.7. Also, I am not talking about ssh.

rshd(ADMN)

Maybe starting inetd with the debug option?
