You didn't say what version of FBSD.  It matters.  A lot.

I've just been fighting the proftpd/pam/freebsd battle myself today
and it is now working.  More interesting than debug output would be
to know what is in your log file.

This is exactly what I have.

What error?

No.  You don't want this.  Well...  That may depend on what version
of FreeBSD.  You definitely don't want it with 3.2-R.
