I have the same issue except that it doesn't block any user.

Hello friend, I have the solution for this problem. The regex is wrong to ProFTPD on file /usr/local/csf/bin/regex.pm
I had to edit this file and change the line #150. This line is relative to ProFTPD section of regular expressions. Note that the end of this line is:

Code: Select all

( -)?:? - USER (\S*) \(Login failed\): Incorrect password\./)) {

You have to remove the characters "- ", dash and space just before the word USER. After that, restart your csf and lfd and now everything works fine! Your line should end like this:

Code: Select all

( -)?:? USER (\S*) \(Login failed\): Incorrect password\./)) {

Try it and return here to say if works for you.
