ipfilter's ftp proxy is still broken even in netbsd-3 (which, IIRC,
has the same ipfilter version as -current). If you need that
functionality, you could either switch to netbsd-3 and use the
/usr/libexec/ftp-proxy (I have not tried it myself), or go back to
netbsd-1-6.
Since netbsd-1-6 appears to be the last 'de facto' stable release on
mac68k, I'd recommend using that for now.
