At least for ftpd I think there is a solution:

1. Edit /etc/inetd.conf

	ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/libexec/ftpd	ftpd -ll
	ftp	stream	tcp6	nowait	root	/usr/libexec/ftpd	ftpd -ll

   The flags -ll enable extended logging.

2. Edit /etc/syslog.conf:

	!ftpd
	*.*						/var/log/ftpd.log

3. Create the log file

	# touch /var/log/ftpd.log

4. Optionally: Edit /etc/newsyslog.conf for preferred log
   rotation.

The IPs are being logged in the log file. I'm sure SSH
allows something similar. If I remember correctly, this
has recently been discussed at this list, maybe the archive
brings up some helping informations for you.
