The red hat 7.2 to redhat 7.3 upgrade turns on ftp chroot, without appropriate 
administrator notification.

chroot limits a user to his home directory, by making that appear to be the root. It 
prevents somone from getting to the real root of the system.

This does decrease vulnerabiltity to the wu-ftpd exec security exploit.

I'm thinking about proftpd.

The default ftp configuration file can be modified to turn this off.
