Issue Latest update broke FTP

[Rowan]

Since the latest update this week I receive this error when a user tries to connect to FTP

In the log (tail -f /var/log/messages) it displays the following error:

proftpd[11996]: mod_ctrls/0.9.5: error: unable to bind to local socket: Permission denied

I cannot really find any suitable solution, does anyone have an idea what this could be?

When I lower Selinux to Permissive it changes to the following error:

proftpd[3852]: mod_ctrls/0.9.5: error: unable to bind to local socket: Address already in use

I suppose that you have proftpd package from Atomic? Check it with:

# rpm -qi psa-proftpd | grep Vendor
Vendor : Atomicorp

In this case exclude psa-proftp package from Atomic repo /etc/yum.repos.d/asl.repo or(and) /etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo:

[asl-4.0]
name=Atomicorp - - Atomic Secured Linux 4.0
mirrorlist=file:///etc/asl/asl-4.0-mirrorlist
enabled=1
gpgkey = [file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY.atomicorp.txt](file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY.atomicorp.txt)
gpgcheck=1
exclude=psa-proftpd

Remove psa-proftp package from the server:

# rpm -e --nodeps psa-proftpd

Install psa-proftp package from Plesk repository:

# plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component proftpd

Restart the service:

# systemctl restart xinetd
