It's been some time, but I think I had a similar problem, which was
fixed by adding:

PersistentPasswd off

to the proftpd.conf file.

Vielen Danke for the answer... I actually found something about it at
[url]http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/localsite/Userguide/linked/c572.html#AEN576[/url]

but still it doesn't seem to work...

I might have put it in the wrong place

I tried in the Global setting (end of the file) then I tried also at
the beginning of the file (commenting the one at the bottom...

<Global>
DefaultRoot ~
ShowSymlinks on
RootLogin off

# I tried them both
#PersistantPassword off
#PersistentPasswd off

</Global>


could you please check where did you put it?

thanks
Luca
