disable telnet log for wtmp

Hello

I was wondering if there is a way to exclude a login from being logged
by wtmp.. A coworker is running an ftp program that logs into our
server at an interval of milliseconds, and it has caused our wtmp log
to grow outrageous in size. When you do a last on the user, there is
litterally millions of logs of his login sessions.

I cannot seem to find anywhere through man pages or through threads, on
how to releive such a problem


thank you
