Pam configuration files

not at all. Every PAM enabled application chooses its own service name. 
Therefore it could be anything. It is only a convention to choose the 
name of the app. Obviously your ftpd chose `ftp' as a service name. That 
also is why the file in /etc/pam.d is named `ftp' and not `ftpd'. If you 
dislike that, you may recompile the ftpd with a service name you like.
