You can track them by setting debug in inetd.conf for ftpd (on the Sun
in.ftpd -dl) and by setting /etc/syslog.conf to log daemon.debug. This will
log EVERYTHING.
BE CAREFUL as in some versions all passwords will be logged. Best advice
is to use a foreign machine (LOGHOST) and make sure permissions are 600.
