Wyh this?
No one patched the ftp deamon to send it. The USER_LOGIN event is sent by the
daemon after authentication/authorization completes. This is to distinguish
actual sessions from the pam events you noted which may not actually be
associated with a login (e.g. - crond). Sshd, gdm, kdm, xdm, and login have
all been patched to do this. I'm not entirely sure we considered ftp to be a
shell giving free access to the system and that would be the most likely
reason its not been patched.
