I don't think the following part of the proposed change should be
included in the patch.
I've been successfully using IP-Filter 3.2.11-beta5 on a FreeBSD-3.0
machine for a NAT and FTP proxy with several different Macintosh and
Windows FTP clients, including some rather dumb and old ones, and it
works flawlessly with this check still enabled. Blindly hacking this
check out seems like a very wrong thing to do in any case. Is there any
proof (tcpdump trace, etc.) that this change is really necessary?
In fact I'd rather see a patch that upgraded to 3.2.11-{latest} because
it's got a lot more than just these bugs fixed. I've been toying with
the idea of doing this upgrade in my own local NetBSD-1.3.3 source tree
too, though I don't have any really pressing need for it (at least not
until one of my clients using IP Filter's NAT decides they need to use
a real FTP client instead of proxying through the Squid server).
Indeed if Darren would/could declare 3.2.11 fit for release I'd like to
see it pulled into 1.4 ASAP too! ;-)
