Affected Products:

An update that has one fix can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for proftpd fixes the following issues:

  * Removed "ProtectSystem=full" from proftpd.service (bsc#1256827).
    * That directive prevents proftpd from writing to the /usr directory hierarchy, which means that logged-in and properly authorized FTP users cannot upload files or create directories there either. 
    * This is not what system administrators who set up FTP access for local users expect and it's inconsistent with how others FTP servers like vsftpd are configured by default.

## Patch Instructions:

To install this SUSE update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like
YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
