<p>An update that has one fix can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for proftpd fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Removed "ProtectSystem=full" from proftpd.service (bsc#1256827). <ul>
<li>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. </li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Patch Instructions:</h2>
<p>

installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".<br/>
