And it is an excellent HOW-TO. It got me up and running in 5 minutes.
 
For those out there who might have other UN*X computers connected to their
LAN using IP-NAT, the magic to add is a "-p" in the command line.

  ftp ftp.macbsd.com

becomes

  ftp -p ftp.macbsd.com

If you are using other FTP clients (like Netscape), you need to put them
into "passive" mode.
