 This is partly correct.  In /etc/login.conf FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is set to
 YES, but running ftp(1) without changes in the environment shows that:
 
 	giorgos@gothmog[10:27]/home/giorgos$ ftp
 	ftp> pass
 	Passive mode: off; fallback to active mode: off.
 	ftp> epsv4
 	EPSV/EPRT on IPv4 off.
 
 It seems off by default :-(
