Apologies if been raised before ... could not find anything searching  
http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-ports&r=1&w=3

Wandering through /var/log and found this in /var/log/userlog

2008-04-14 19:45:35 [xxxyyy:useradd] ftp(14):operator(5):Annonymus  
Ftp:/var/ftp:/nonexistent

And then to ... cat /etc/passwd

ftp:*:14:5:Annonymus Ftp:/var/ftp:/nonexistent

Noticed the incorrect spelling (should be Anonymous), and did a Google:

http://www.freebsdports.info/ports/ftp/vsftpd.html

In the pkg-install section it says ...

pkg-install

#!/bin/sh
# $FreeBSD: ports/ftp/vsftpd/pkg-install,v 1.4 2003/12/12 19:17:17

[cut]
if pw useradd ftp -g operator -u 14 -h - -d /var/ftp -s /nonexistent - 
c "Annonymus Ftp"; then
echo "Added user ftp for vsftpd"
[cut]

Downloaded the latest from:

http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/ftp/vsftpd/vsftpd.tar.gz?tarball=1

And the same spelling is in there.

So guessing that is where the account came from?

Thanks.
