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.
