Several weird logins from localhost in proftp
 
I am using Debian 4 with proftp 1.3.1

The log file shows lots of successful logins from localhost. I never accessed ftp from localhost. Is this normal to happen?
Code:

Some cms's use an ftp layer to change files, could be that ... but is the user one you know about ?

You're right!
The only service that this server runs is a Joomla install :)
Thanks!
