>Description:
libftpio dertermines whether ftp is to be passive by seeing if 
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is set.
ftp determines whether ftp is to be passive by seeing is
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is set and not eq to "no".

One effect: fetch, which uses libftpio, will ftp passively and ftp will
ftp actively whenever FTP_PASSIVE_MODE="NO", which is LAME!
>How-To-Repeat:
I am not sure.  I am behind a gateway/firewall which has trouble with
passive FTP.  My advice is: get yourself in a sitch where passive does
not work right and then compare the results of fetch and ftp.	
>Fix:
apply the following patch to /usr/src/lib/libftpio/ftpio.c

> diff ftpio.c ftpio.c.old

<     char *s;
< 
<     if ((s = getenv("FTP_PASSIVE_MODE")) != NULL
<       && strcasecmp(s,"no") !=0 )
