[Xastir] Re: FCC/RAC Database

[Gerry Creager]

Try a command line interface then use the command 'pasv off' or simply 
'pasv'

This is a security issue, but can usually be overcome.  IF there's a 
need I'll set set up a cron job on a weekly basis (or more frequent) to 
snag it.  Please advise if I need to set that up.
