early in the thread, it was clear from a reply's content that a locally installed 'ftpd' and not the CentOS vsftpd was being used
I think you are inadvertently confusing the issue. ftpd is mentioned in this file (see below), but still vsftpd is used:
[root@mx2 logrotate.d]# cat vsftpd.log /var/log/vsftpd.log { # ftpd doesn't handle SIGHUP properly nocompress missingok }
/var/log/xferlog { # ftpd doesn't handle SIGHUP properly nocompress missingok }
As for me, vsftpd is logging to xferlog, and it is rotated normally (CentOS 5.6) with the following settings in vsftpd.conf:
# The target log file can be vsftpd_log_file or xferlog_file. # This depends on setting xferlog_std_format parameter xferlog_enable=YES # Switches between logging into vsftpd_log_file and xferlog_file files. # NO writes to vsftpd_log_file, YES to xferlog_file xferlog_std_format=YES
