No one patched the ftp deamon to send it. The USER_LOGIN event is sent by the 
daemon after authentication/authorization completes. This is to distinguish 
actual sessions from the pam events you noted which may not actually be 
associated with a login (e.g. - crond). Sshd, gdm, kdm, xdm, and login have 
all been patched to do this. I'm not entirely sure we considered ftp to be a 
shell giving free access to the system and that would be the most likely 
reason its not been patched.
