Ok, just wanted to make sure.  After quickly reviewing the ftpd code, I
didn't see a way to disable hostname lookups.

Instead of standard ftpd, give lukemftpd a try.  I tested it briefly,
and failures are reported like so:

....: FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM 192.168.xxx.yyy

Finally, instead of writing your own parsing script, sshguard monitors
your FTP logs, SSH logs and other services that you want to protect with
pf auto-blocking: http://www.freshports.org/security/sshguard/

Hope that helps,
Greg
