Sorry for top posting but I'm stuck with Lotus Notes at work...anyway,
Do you have SELinux enabled? Depending on the context settings you have set in SELinux can really lock down a service. Try disabling it if you have it enabled.

I haven't used proftpd for a while. Does it have any security
options (like not running as root or living in a chroot jail)
that would keep it from reading your shadow password file?
And out of curiosity, why are you using it instead of vsftpd?
