Actually the error message is wrong and my interpretation of the test
was wrong.

If I use a valid UAF username as the password, I get this in TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG:


%TCPIP-I-FTP_SESCON, FTP SERVER: session connection from EESD.nheerl.epa.gov at
10-OCT-2016 09:20:23.54
%SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHID, unknown rights identifier
%TCPIP-E-FTP_LOGFAL, remote interactive login failure anonymous
-TCPIP-I-FTP_NODE, client host name: EESD.nheerl.epa.gov
-LOGIN-F-NOSUCHUSER, no such user

For other passwords, including guest and no password (just hitting return) I get:

%TCPIP-I-FTP_SESCON, FTP SERVER: session connection from EESD.nheerl.epa.gov at
10-OCT-2016 09:16:06.21
%SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHID, unknown rights identifier
%TCPIP-E-FTP_LOGFAL, remote interactive login failure anonymous
-TCPIP-I-FTP_NODE, client host name: EESD.nheerl.epa.gov
-LOGIN-F-NOSUCHUSER, no such user
