That's how I interpreted it :-) Funny part is, that FreeBSD 1.1 did do
the job. But I'll try and see what ports we're talking here.
The BSD box is in the exports file.

Now what file, with what contents do I drop in a basic installed system
to ahve ncftp switch mode. (I'll just do the ESC ESC trick and reboot)
I tried reading the manual, but didn't get it to work. :-(
