First of all thanks to Bruce Hudson and Steve Langasek for their response.

At least it gave me some ideas to experiment with.
I did experiment with the pam.conf file a little further. Fortunatly there 
are nno hints in the README.PAM from ProFTP but the following is what I 
entered in pam.conf

It goes wrong at the moment I use line
ftp     account  .....
I replaced them one by one with the pam_unix module but that gave no solution.
At the moment I enter the mentioned line again (which is in my opinion the 
one to verify the NT domain for the username/password it goes wrong

A part of my pam.conf;

#ident  "@(#)pam.conf 1.19     95/11/30 SMI"
#
# PAM configuration
#
# Authentication management
#
# for ProFTPd
ftp     auth    required        /usr/lib/security/pam_smb_auth.so.1 nolocal 
debug
ftp     account required        /usr/lib/security/pam_smb_auth.so.1 nolocal 
debug
ftp     session required        /usr/lib/security/pam_smb_auth.so.1 nolocal 
debug
