I updated proftpd some time ago from a third party repo which broke proftpd auths also. 
Although it's probably only the pam.d section that broke, I made the following notes to 
fix at the time. "workspace" is just a temp dir. My box is Brian's 2.5 ISO install.

### Grab proftpd files that are/maybe broken later ###
cp /etc/pam.d/ftp /home/workspace/
cp /etc/proftpd.conf /home/workspace/
cp /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd /home/workspace/

### Fix proftpd for BQ after update ###
rm /etc/pam.d/proftpd
rm /etc/proftpd.conf.*
rm /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd.*
mv /home/workspace/ftp /etc/pam.d/
mv /home/workspace/proftpd.conf /etc/
mv /etc/xinetd.d/xproftpd /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

Let us know how you get on.
