I have run yum yesterday night and it updated the proftpd at the time
amongst a lot of other things as in the yum.log extract below:

Feb 24 19:41:14 Updated: base-ftp-glue.noarch 1.2.0-77BQ10.centos4
Feb 24 19:41:25 Updated: base-ftp-ui.noarch 1.2.0-77BQ10.centos4
Feb 24 19:41:34 Updated: base-ftp-locale-ja.noarch 1.2.0-77BQ10.centos4
Feb 24 19:41:45 Updated: base-ftp-capstone.noarch 1.2.0-77BQ10.centos4
Feb 24 19:41:47 Updated: base-ftp-locale-en.noarch 1.2.0-77BQ10.centos4
Feb 24 19:42:00 Updated: base-ftp-am.i386 1.0.2-3BQ6.centos4
Feb 24 19:42:13 Updated: proftpd.i386 1.2.10-10.2.el4.rf

My proftpd now complains about incorrect passwords for every user. I have
triple checked that the passwords are correct.

I have tried Brett's  workaround but that didn't help unfortunatley.

I have noticed that I don't have the file "/etc/pam.d/ftp" as suggested by
Brett's email additionally my "/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd" file is of 0 (zero)
size.

Has anyone got any idea how to fix this?
I guess a good start would be to get a non-zero sized
"/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd" file and try if that makes a difference.

Cheers
Mark
