ftp-proxy(8) doesn't respect "-a" (source address for outgoing control connection)

[Harald Schmalzbauer]

 Hello,

according to man (8) ftp-proxy, "-a 1.2.3.4" should instruct ftp-proxy
to use 1.2.3.4 as source address for outgoing control connections.
But it doesn't. It seems to greatly ignor that directive, since I can
pass  any address, ieven if the machine doesn't own it. It always uses
the EGRES interface's inet address - inet6 not tested.

Any ideas why?

Thanks,

-Harry
