Try using tcpdump to see if you can sniff the packet streams and run
something like strings on it.  It may give you login names etc. that you
recognize.

tcpdump -w x.raw -c50
strings x.raw | grep USER
strings x.raw | grep PASS   (Since people use their mail address for
anonymous ftp)

Hey, that's pretty clever, I like that idea. You'll probably end up have to go with one of the more brute force methods like switching things off till you isolate it though.
