Sounds like the famous "Apple PHP/MySQL screw up of 2006.".
Knocked down all of our PHP/MySQL servers.... one thing I have learned
(and don't get me wrong, Apple does a great job on UI and other Apple
specific things), but when dealing with non-apple developed
technologies (PHP, MySQL, FTP daemons, open source BSD kernel parts)
Apple sometimes misses the boat.
When they release an OS update, or even more importantly a security
update, I always wait about 2-3 weeks to see what things have broken
at other places. As we all know, it's all too difficult to roll back
an OS X update without rebuilding the OS.
The PHP/MySQL patch was easy to work around once we found out what the
problem was.. FTP may be another story all together though.

The security update has broken most of my ftp services. A system
that was working fine is now broken. It does not automatically
recognize where the new FTPRoot is, anonymous can nor download from
directories where they use to be able to (permission denied) and
when I change settings using the GUI, no new settings occur.
Something has been severely broken in this change. Can someone
knowledgeable from Apple please give me a call. We provide data to a
lot of people and this has broken ftp on 3 different servers with 3
different configurations.
Thanks,
