The kernel has been compiled with options:
makeoptions MKMODULESENV+="WITHOUT_INET_SUPPORT="
nodevice gre
nooptions INET
options INET6
>Description:
The ftp(8) cannot be used when there is no AF_INET protocol family support within kernel. There is a fragment of code in the main.c which is trying to get the socket sizes when the PF is hardcoded to AF_INET.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Compile the kernel with above options to include INET6 and exclude INET from the kernel.
2) run ftp from the shell.
Here is a snippet from the screen:

b93# ftp ftp.freebsd.org.
