The proftpd user should be created as a system user when installed. It probably failed on your system at that time for some reason (some exotic auth schema used?). It is used in 1.3.0 instead of nobody. The ftp user is not removed because the anonymous user could be used for some reason by the admin. -- Francesco P.
