Yeah, "me too", up until I switched to a sparc64 NAT box, now active FTP
doesn't work at all. Of course, this issue seems to have slipped through the
cracks as I guess nobody else runs sparc64 NAT boxes and cares about active
FTP. (truth be told, I don't care about active FTP: I care about the fact
that rules that work just fine on an x86 don't work at all on a sparc64, and
it really rubs me the wrong way when I get told "oh, well nobody uses active
ftp anyway", as if that's an answer to the underlying issue :P)
