I've seen several versions of ftpd that utilize /usr/adm/wtmp and
/usr/adm/btmp in some form or fashion.  Its never really documented,
but I've discovered that if those files exist, ftpd will use them.

Your version of ftpd might log into the utmp files, and hopefully if
it does, it dumps enough information to be useful.

Hope this is useful info for you,
