I'm setting up my new SuSE 9.2 box, and chose to use vsftpd as ftp daemon
(seemed easy enough to configure at my taste). I use the 2.0.1 version
from the SuSE distribution.

In my old arrangements (on Alpha Tru64 with "stock" ftpd) I had my own
crontabs collecting the entries in ftpd log and converting them to HTML
pages. They require a neat log.

I find I can obtain such a log with

xferlog_enable=YES
(log_ftp_protocol=NO)

however (and the same is true for the much verbose log_ftp_protocol) the
connecting hosts are shown with their IP and not with their fully
qualified domain name.

I can't find a vsftp.conf variable controlling this.

Is this a feature of vsftpd ? or of the SuSE distribution ? or is it a
misconfiguration of my machine ?
