I recently updated proftpd myself from source. There's a bug in the ProFTPD
1.2.0rc2 source. So I ended up using the latest CVS source from their site.
Here's the link:

http://www.proftpd.net/docs/cvs.html

1.Telnet or SSH in to your server.

2. cd to /var/tmp

3. Do a wget 
ftp://ftp.linux.co.uk/pub/people/hamster/proftpd/proftpd-1.2.0rc2bis.tgz

4. tar xzvf proftpd-1.2.0rc2bis.tgz

5. cd proftpd-1.2.0rc2bis

6. ./configure --prefix=/usr/sbin/ \
--enable-shadow \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/usr/var \
--enable-pam

7. make

8. DO NOT MAKE INSTALL!!!

9.stop inet 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet stop

10. Back up your old copy of proftpd just in case.
cp -v /usr/sbin/proftpd /usr/sbin/proftpd.old


11. Copy over the new binary
cp -v /var/tmp/proftpd-1.2.0rc2bis/proftpd /usr/sbin/proftpd

12. rm /usr/var/proftpd/proftpd-inetd

13. restart inet
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start

14. Remove the source
rm -r /var/tmp/proftpd-1.2.0rc2bis

That worked for me. Use at your own risk.
