Hmm... it seems to be something with my setup. Forgot to mention that it is running on WindowsXP using VMWare and a bridged network.
And it does not involve other FTP servers, just openbsd. I also tested from another box on the same network and ftp.openbsd.org works just fine from there. Checked with tcpdump, and everything goes fine until password. The password is sent to the FTP server, which replies with "230- Welcome..." immediately (around 1 msec) following that my OpenBSD box sends RST and about 0.2 seconds later sends ACK, followed by 1.5 seconds later another RST, no more packets from ftp.openbsd.org. Any ideas?
