David, say it ain't so. You are *NOT* running a ftp service on your
computer connected to the internet, right? Well it looks like you are
doing just that. What type of ftp client, and what version is it? Are
you running any kind of of file monitoring, such as tripwire? Do you
have any programs for detecting rootkits? What is msec reporting about
system and file changes? Time to start checking md5sums against original
files off the install media. And shut down ftp immediately, if not
sooner....
