 Dear Sir or Madam,
 
 I run FreeBSD 3.4-S, 4.0-S and 5-CURRENT; they were built from sources=20
 as of  June 11, 2000.
 
 I configured (stateful) closed firewalls for all of them; the=20
 firewalls in question are *paranoidly* restrictive.
 
 I fixed that "problem" by simply specifying the FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=20
 environment variable under 3.4-S; by specifying FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=3DNO in=
 =20
 /etc/login.conf under -CURRENT as well as under 4.0-STABLE.
 
 Needless to say, I can cvsup as well as installing ports ("make fetch"=20
 works) and ftping from all over the world.
 
 Yours faithfully,
 Salvo Bartolotta
