I enabled ipfw on my machine and am no longer able to compile ports without 
disabling the firewall. My firewall allows outgoing ftp connections (keep 
state) which should make passive ftp connections possible.

Fetching the source code still fails, even though the appropriate environment 
variable to use passive ftp has been set (from man 3 fetch).

What am I missing?

Regards,


Frank
