I just now tested it, but had no problems (running behind an
iptables-based firewall)
[heinlein at billings heinlein]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)
[heinlein at billings heinlein]$ ncftp -V
NcFTP 3.0.2 (October 19, 2000) by Mike Gleason (ncftp at ncftp.com).
ncftp> o updates.redhat.com
Connecting to 63.240.14.70...
Red Hat FTP server ready. All transfers are logged.
I know that Red Hat round-robins its public ftp and rsync servers; I
wonder if that's the issue. If you're using a local cacheing
nameserver, have you tried restarting it?
