I can't offer any help with Proftpd, I always had trouble getting that one 
configured and working correctly, along with some concerns about security 
since a lot of my reading pointed out some well known security implications 
with that ftp daemon.

If you are interested in installing pure-ftpd and getting it to work, I can 
send you a configuration file that with some slight alterations will allow 
you to grant anyone with a userid on your system access to ftp, or to easily 
add some additional users that only have ftp access.

You can find more information about pure-ftpd at:  http://www.pureftpd.org/

They do have RPM's for that ftp server with Mandrake Linux so you won't have 
to compile or search them down.
