Two things: 1. If you pull the IPV6 stuff out of your kernel, ftp seems to work fine, I assume it must "ifdef" the problematic parts of the ftp program out. I have a number of machines running -stable and have no problems, but I also always comment out the v6 stuff. 2. cap_mkdb is to be run like so whenever you've changed login.conf: "cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf". You will have to log out (all the way to the login prompt if you're at the console) and log back in for changes to take effect. A reboot should not be necessary.
