I setup vps and I have not been able to get the same result. You can go ahead and remove this post so it does not confuse people if they have similar issues. If it comes back I will pm you..
Thanks for your help...
I can put up a vm and install centos 6.4 mysecureshell and proftpd or vsftpd see if I can reproduce then hand off to you if you want. I will go ahead and do that.. If I can reproduce on a vps I will pm you login information... I really appreciate how supportive you are... It is a really weird issues I have managed servers for a lot of years and at first time I have seen an issue like this.. I thought it was the ftp server.. So I changed from vsftpd to proftpd. The problem came back.. I have never had this issue running proftpd or vsftpd on a normal server. The load will go up every couple days and but it does not slow down the server so it really just an annoyance. When I first noticed it the load was twenty but I could not find any reason for the load to be twenty.. Just hung ftp session that would not close no matter how I try to kill them..
Anyways I will let you know maybe I will setup a vm this weekend...
Thank you
I have only upgraded the one time. If there is a new update I can try it again. Last time I added it manually /etc/shells which I believe was the 3.1.2 centos release.. If you updated that release I can downgrade and upgrade one of my servers to see if it is fixed if you want. That part seems to be fine on my servers since I added it manually...
This post was more about the weird load mysecureshell seems to be causing when used in conjunction with ftp...
I am running ftp along side of mysecureshell and there seems to be some kind of cpu leak caused by mysecureshell. I have ran proftpd and vsftpd and both ftp servers seem to cause the load to go up exponentially while using mysecureshell. It does not happen on a server with out mysecureshell...
It seems like mysecureshell causes the ftp session never to close.. It does not seem to slow down the server at all but daily the load goes up slightly. The only way I can kill the ftp session is to reboot the server. I thought it was fixed in the last release but it seems ftp was not actually working with centos because of the rpm not adding mysecureshell to /etc/shells.
Now that I got the issue fixed caused by the new rpm the Load going up is back.. Let me know if I can do anything to help fix the issue...

I will test our setup to see if we have the issue..
FTP and SFTP work at the sametime using proftpd in centos 6.4. x86_64 not an issue here. You might want to look at your FTP Server logs and ssh logs to see what happens...

Thank you for testing
Next time Centos package should be okay
No problem.. Thanks for making the software and continuing to support it... 
Yep that is it after upgrading mysecureshell on centos6.4 64bit to the newest version: mysecureshell-1.32-1.x86_64 it was missing /bin/MySecureShell from /etc/shells when I added it back the FTP Server works with out issue.
Thanks guys...
CentOS 6.4 64 bit
I did look in /etc/shells and it was not there. I will upgrade it and then put /bin/MySecureShell in /etc/shells to see if that was the issue it sounds like the upgrade just does not put mysecureshell in /etc/shells...
Thanks for your help appreciated..
Do you mean mysecureshell needs to be in etc shells? I looked in there and it does only list the 4 shells not including mysecureshell when i upgraded since I downgraded it is listed there...
before downgrade
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/sbin/nologin
/usr/bin/rssh
after downgrade
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/sbin/nologin
/usr/bin/rssh
/bin/MySecureShell
So I downgraded to mysecureshell-1.31-1.x86_64.rpm and it fixed the problem so this is either a bug or a feature. If it is a feature please tell me how to disable it. I had to upgrade because of some other bug that caused the load to keep going up daily...
This version mysecureshell-1.32-1.x86_64 seems to cause ftp to go through mysecure shell. Which I need both ftp and sftp.
I started using mysecureshell about 6 months ago. When I first started using it I setup FTP and MySecureshell for the way it chroots the user in sftp. FTP stopped working when I upgraded to the new version a few days ago.
Is there a way to make ftp not pass through mysecure shell so it does not get blocked by mysecureshell. I am using proftpd and stopped working when the update was installed. If I switch the shell to /bin/bash proftpd works. If I dont it fails with wrong password...
Thank you
