If you don't mind the negative security implications from not knowing whether
or not hackers are trying to break into your system by using FTP, sure, you can
turn off those console messages.

 From FTPDOC.ARPA.SYS:

************************************************************************
CONSOLE_LOGGING option
************************************************************************

The "CONSOLE_LOGGING = ON" SETPARMS.ARPA.SYS configuration option is a
security enhancement added to the FTP Server "FTPSRVR" to support the
"logging" of MPE session logon attempts (success and failure) on inbound
FTP connections to the HP e3000 system.  These messages are logged on
the system console as well as to the MPE system logfiles.

The system default for this enhancement is "CONSOLE_LOGGING = ON".  This
option can be disabled by adding the line "CONSOLE_LOGGING = OFF" to the
file SETPARMS.ARPA.SYS with a supported text EDITOR.

The following types of messages will be logged to the HP e3000 system
console as well as to the MPE system logfiles:

   1:27/#J93/75/FTP OPEN For: "MANAGER.SYS,PUB" IP=127.0.0.1

   0:40/#J93/62/FTP INVALID LOGON For: "INVLUSER.SYS" IP=127.0.0.1

   0:40/#J93/62/FTP INVALID PASSWORD For: "MANAGER.SYS,PUB" IP=127.0.0.1

   1:35/#J93/75/FTP CLOSE IP=127.0.0.1
