Check Content
Check the contents of the ftpusers file. # more /etc/ftpd/ftpusers OR alternatively # find / -type f -name ftpusers -exec ls -lL {} \; If the system has accounts not allowed to use FTP and not listed in the ftpusers file, this is a finding.

Add accounts not allowed to use FTP to the /etc/ftpd/ftpusers (or equivalent) file.
