>Description:
The handbook page mentions that adding the line:
ftpproxy_flags=""
to rc.conf will enable ftpproxy. This is incorrect. The following line must be added for this to work correctly:
ftpproxy_enable="YES"

This is from the instructions in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
ftpproxy_enable="NO"            # Set to YES to enable ftp-proxy(8) for pf
>How-To-Repeat:
Try each line and see if ftpproxy is enabled.
>Fix:
patch attached
