xferlog logging has nothing to do with the -l switch, only with the
settings in ftpaccess.

The -l option logs when a user logs in, and when a user logs out.
Entries like
Aug 28 16:12:40 k6 ftpd[15156]: ANONYMOUS FTP LOGIN FROM localhost [127.0.0.1], root@

Aug 28 16:12:47 k6 ftpd[15156]: FTP session closed
are caused by -l.
