The wu-ftpd filter backend that is using auth.log does not seem to work
for me. I wrote a backend using the syslog file entries as was
suggested in this bug report. I wanted to submit the filter backend for
review and hopefully inclusion with the base package. It is currently
working great for me. I am sure there are others using wu-ftpd that
could make use of this.
