I will point out some things out for you to read up on.

You did not enable PAM in proftpd.conf.  There is no vhosts
configured in the proftpd.conf either.  Did you intend to use
vhosts?

Also are you using inetd to serve the FTP connections?  If so,
why configure ProFTPD as your standalone server.

Did you read any documentations on how to enable pam for ProFTPD?
If so, which documentations?

I found that there's a bug that might have been fixed back in Jan
but it gave out similar errors.  It is located at:
