Bug#968967: Same here

[Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta]

Hi, I experienced the same failure in two hosts. My config:

Authuserfile    /etc/proftpd/ftpd.passwd
AuthOrder mod_auth_file.c
DefaultRoot ~
RequireValidShell             off
SFTPEngine on
Port 2222
SFTPLog /var/log/proftpd/sftp.log
SFTPHostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
SFTPCompression delayed
SFTPPAMEngine off
