I guess I don't get it.  Why not log this at the FTP server?

The PIX can force authentication on an FTP session initiation.  But asking 
for a user name and password seems out of sync with supporting anonymous 
FTP.  No?

I'd agree with Dan that if you want to silently track anonymous FTP 
sessions the best tool would be to use an IDS approach.

Liberty for All,
