Apologies if been raised before ... could not find anything searching
http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-ports&r=1&w=3
Wandering through /var/log and found this in /var/log/userlog
2008-04-14 19:45:35 [xxxyyy:useradd] ftp(14):operator(5):Annonymus
Ftp:/var/ftp:/nonexistent
And then to ... cat /etc/passwd
ftp:*:14:5:Annonymus Ftp:/var/ftp:/nonexistent
Noticed the incorrect spelling (should be Anonymous), and did a Google:
http://www.freebsdports.info/ports/ftp/vsftpd.html
In the pkg-install section it says ...
pkg-install
#!/bin/sh
# $FreeBSD: ports/ftp/vsftpd/pkg-install,v 1.4 2003/12/12 19:17:17

if pw useradd ftp -g operator -u 14 -h - -d /var/ftp -s /nonexistent -
c "Annonymus Ftp"; then
echo "Added user ftp for vsftpd"
[cut]
Downloaded the latest from:
http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/ftp/vsftpd/vsftpd.tar.gz?tarball=1
And the same spelling is in there.
So guessing that is where the account came from?
Thanks.
