filter your messages by adding this line to the roots crontab:

0,30  *    *    *    *    grep -v "127.0.0.1]) - FTP session closed"
/var/log/messages | grep -v "ttloop: read: Broken pipe" >
/var/log/filtered_messages


(this should be one line).
It will create a file /var/log/filtered_messages twice an hour
