How did you setup proftpd as service?

And 1006 is sshd_server?  We know 18 is SYSTEM, whoever is 1006 has no
privileges to change users... and it probably shouldn't (I have in my
/etc/proftpd.conf User SYSTEM and Group None, it works fine in Win XP), if =
set
as service the default is being run as SYSTEM, you must have changed that b=
ut
not the proftpd configuration.

ProFtpd can be started from inetd... your choice; but there are advantages =
like
using tcp_wrappers.
