I just checked. By default net2ftp does indeed log into /var/log/maillog.

See:

/usr/sausalito/ui/web/ftpclient/settings.inc.php

$net2ftp_settings["syslog_facility"] = LOG_MAIL;

If changed to this it'll log to /var/log/messages:

$net2ftp_settings["syslog_facility"] = LOG_SYSLOG;

Which is really where these messages should go in first place. I'll
publish an update today that fixes this.

Many thanks for letting me know.
