Since it's connecting from localhost i'd hazard a guess it's the
active monitor, I think cobalt tried to reduce log pollution by having it
log in instead of just connecting and disconnecting, but you don't have
any user named anonymous ,so it's a  little unhappy. It's kind of
lose-lose if you don't allow anonymous ftp, if you add that user you
are just going to get login refused messages instead ;)
Just tell logcheck to ignore it i suppose...

That makes sense, it's just an "error" you get used to ignoring, like the
zcat: stdout: Broken pipe error that everyone started getting after the
updates. Gotta love it! But I still love my little blue pizza box!
Thanks for the feedback guys!!
