What I want to make you to see is, that package from rawhide /
development, like the glibc 2.4.3-10 package you call, is nothing you
can call *stable* under each circumstance. rawhide / development is some
kind of a current beta process, even at times in alpha state. In worst
case you have many many trouble! Especially if exchanging the glibc,
which plays a central role on a Linux system. It might fix your FTP
problem but get you a lot of other problems. You write yourself it is a
production server with the proftpd problem. So be warned!

rpm -qp --changelog glibc-2.3.4-10.i686.rpm
shows me:

* Di Feb 08 2005 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.3.4-6
 
- update from CVS
  - ld.so auditing
  - fix segfault if chrooted app attempts to dlopen a library
    and no standard library directory exists at all (#147067, #144303)
  - fix initgroups when nscd is running, but has group caching disabled
    (#146588)

Maybe thats the fixing thing?

And you are speaking and handling the glibc-devel RPM - shows too you
don't know what that is. Normally you don't need a -devel package.
So if you really want to update your FC2 glibc with the development
version from today, then do following:

1) rpm -qa | grep "glibc" | grep "2.3.3" | sort
2) for each package from 1) get the corresponding from the development
tree on an FTP server; store them i.e. in /var/tmp/
3) cd /var/tmp; rpm -Uvh glibc*

You got warned. Have a backup.

Alexander
