I've just done a install onto a fresh hard drive from the 3.4 cd's and subsequently cvsup'd to RELENG_3.

How can i specify a passive ftp install from the ports.  I'm always getting an error saying:
        fetch:  Can't open data connection

I've also noticed this msg when i do a ftp and type ls or dir for a listing. Except it says:
        425 Can't build data connection:  Connection refused.
However even i type "passive" on any ftp and then do an "ls" it will work.

I have the box on a 10.x.x.x network with a dns entry with our dns server.

Any suggestions?

tnx as always,
Michael Morgan
