Upgraded my 3.9 install to 4.0 the other day, followed the 3.9-4.0 doc and it 
was smooth as could be.  Upgraded all my packages using

pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends

straight from the upgrade doc.  Only found a couple, and installed those.  
Thats when the fun started.  Got an email from the firewall admin with this 
message from the firewall logs:

attackip: 192.168.55.125 attackburb: internal acl_id: ftp_ext_out 
reason: Denied FTP command: EPSV.  Data is being dropped. 

So 2 questions.  First, can I shut of EPSV and use PASV instead for
pkg_add?  Doesn't look like our firewalls will support us turning on
allowing EPSV.  I looked through the man pages and didn't find anything.

Second, I vaguely remember doing some pkg_add's while still in 3.9
via scp, but I cannot find the list of servers anywhere that support it.
I know I did this and I remeber seeing the list, but I cannot for the life
of me find the list anymore.  I would prefer this method over ftp as it
would be faster.  I always use the same local(to me) mirror and I know
that is where I scp'ed from in the past.

Oh and before anyone says pitch the fine firewalls we have and setup
a couple running PF and CARP, already suggested that awhile back.
No dice.

Thanks in advance
