Heh. You are using "csh". The export thing only works with "/bin/sh"
and "/bin/ksh". "/bin/csh" isn't a very good shell for interactive
use, by the way. If you really prefer C-style shells to Bourne shells,
consider installing the "tcsh" package.

That's the IPv6 address of ftp.netbsd.org. Try substituting
"ftp4.netbsd.org" for "ftp.netbsd.org, and see what difference
that makes. (I believe that is no longer an issue in 1.6.2.)
