Could you show us the few lines before and after the attempt? I'm assuming
that you're running wu-ftpd... what version?

So the FTP incident appears to be the key here, would you agree? Are you
running any IDS, like maybe portsentry? If not, it's worth looking into to
help track these things. So is tripwire, which will alert you to any
changes to any binaries on your system.
In the meantime, take a look in the proc directory tree, see if you can
find any dot-txt files.

Did you restart sshd afterwards? Also, did you restart the ssh-key thingy?
