Hmmm... noticed these in my logs:

Jul  6 10:05:37 cc942873-a ftpd[19216]: connection from lon-c45-001-vty4.as.wcom.net (195.232.2.4)
Jul  6 10:05:37 cc942873-a ftpd[19216]: ANONYMOUS FTP LOGIN REFUSED FROM lon-c45-001-vty4.as.wcom.net
Jul  6 10:05:37 cc942873-a ftpd[19216]: FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM lon-c45-001-vty4.as.wcom.net, mp3
Jul  6 10:05:38 cc942873-a ftpd[19216]: FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM lon-c45-001-vty4.as.wcom.net, warez
Jul  6 10:05:40 cc942873-a ftpd[19216]: FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM lon-c45-001-vty4.as.wcom.net, leech

My first guess is a mistaken identity; our friend in search of warez
typed in a bad IP addy or something. Anyone see something there more
sinister? I have no idea why people would be looking me up for ftp'ing
warez and mp3s.

BTW, I turned off my ftpd in inetd.conf after noticing this. I have
not used ftp in ages now that I have managed to install ssh on 90% of
the machines I use (the miracle of scp).
