This is only a real issue on 5207R/5208R. For those two I just released
proftpd-1.3.7-RC2 as YUM updates. Please do a "yum clean all" and "yum
update" to get it.

On 5209R you may see the "seteuid()" and "setegid()" in the logs if
someone tries to login, but has FTP access disabled. Like on a Vsite
where only siteAdmin is allowed to FTP, but a user tries to login. The
login succeeds, but the .ftpaccess file in his directory then denies all
commands.
