Errr.. this is not a bug in portupgrade, but the way most (all?) FTP
clients work.  If you change the port for the 'ftp' service, *any*
program that asks about the 'ftp' service will use the new port,
including all FTP clients that try to make outgoing connections.

The appropriate way to "fix" that problem is to NOT change the port for
the 'ftp' service, but merely specify a different port on which to run
the FTP server.  Which FTP server are you using?  How do you run it -
=66rom inetd (you can specify a numeric port in inetd.conf), from
tcpserver or another inetd replacement (you can specify a numeric port
there, too), or in some kind of a standalone mode (you should be able to
specify a port number in the config file then)?

G'luck,
Peter

If wishes were fishes, the antecedent of this conditional would be true.
