I can confirm this problem on FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE i386 with
proftpd-1.3.5_2
Is some patch available to fix this? (I cannot disable DefaultChroot)
a bug report has been filed.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198938
I've updated the PR with some short info what I found. Basically,
there's a special case in src/fsio.c which explicitly denies
writing to /etc and /lib in the chroot-case, refering to 3 year
old AUSCERT warnings for proftpd with FreeBSD.
Someone needs to check whether those warnings still apply to current-day
proftpd and freebsd.
I'd updated the PR but just in case this is of use to the list the
workaround is simply to create a parent folder for your ftp root,
so as viewed by proftpd /etc/ would become /parent/etc
