I think this problem should, in a sense, disappear very soon, most probably at the next package build cycle - I believe that this is the time when ftp.FreeBSD.org's /pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/ directory is updated. Thus, at the next package build, bash2's patchfiles will make it to ftp.FreeBSD.org, and everyone who is using it as a backup site (which, IIRC, is the default configuration) should be able to fetch them again. Other than that, I am more and more inclined to think that the problem lies with CWRU's ftp server more than with the FreeBSD firewall's default settings; there are simply too many places on the Internet where (questionable) policy decisions mandate dropping incoming connections, and unreasonable as such a policy may be, it currently bars everyone affected from using the CWRU FTP server.
