OK,
I figured this out for myself. Wasn't sure which logfile to look at. Is in /var/log/xferlog. So this is what an access attempt looks like.
Sorry for the noise.

S 6:19PM 0:00.00 ftpd: zeus.eanet.cz: connected: USER admin (ftpd)

What should I make of this? I immediately killed ftpd. Is this a successful break-in or just an attempt?
I will be carefully looking around the system right now.
