Downloaded, applied, recompiled, installed and rebooted without any errors.
I did however add the sysctl variables to my /etc/sysctl.conf just in case.

Does this mean they will automatically show up in /var/log/debug.log?

I could use some help with the syntax for this... :-)



And a final question: Will this feature work regardless of what side
initiates the TCP connection? Or will I have to instruct my ftp-users to use
active mode only when they transfer files to/from my FreeBSD box?
