 This can be seen as violating KISS, yes.
 And if people want to dump the patch for that reason, i have no
 complaints. This patch is for convinience, not for critical
 functionality.
 
 As for ftpd -W, it doesn't log regular ftp logins, which is
 really bad for security.
 
 Maybe a better lolution would be to teach ftpd not to log annon
 logins to wtmp.
