If someone tries to log on to your FTP server with username "foo" and password "bar", you'll see that error message in your security log, assuming you've enabled auditing of logons as you should. It doesn't matter whether there's an actual user account with that username or password. > When will the hurting stop? ;) I don't know. If I were you, I'd be more concerned with the possibility that someone is trying to log into your FTP server than the fact that your log files are growing! You should look at your FTP server logs, and see what's going on. You might use additional protection for your FTP server, like IP address restrictions, as well, if you can. If you don't pay attention to attempts to log into your FTP server, the hurting may only have begun.
