I haven't seen the change, maybe it's effected differently than it
looks from the above log line, but IMHO just fixing /home/ftp
permissions is only asking for more trouble later.

The ftp user should NOT be created, period. Because this activates
anonymous FTP, which should NEVER be activated (by this, I mean it
should never accept an anonymous ftp connection) unless the
administrator _explicitly_ requests it.

That this doesn't result in a usable anonymous FTP configuration is,
IMHO, not enough of a correction.
