I think the chrtftp priv shall be implicit for every user. Specifically,
every user shall only be allowed access to their home directory (and this is
already a security risk). The admin/root users shall be using ssh to copy
files or SFTP.

So a properly configured proftpd server will have the "DirectoryRoot ~"
directive for every user, thus dropping the need for a chrtftp priviledge.

I would call this a bug....
