Actually, I meant that the documentation of routers and firewalls ought
to explain these minutiae, which would be common to any FTP server.  I
don't believe that Xitami's documentation need concern itself with
concepts that lie outside of itself, and are a generic problem (although
it could, and perhaps should, say "if you're behind a router that does
NAT, or a firewall, you'll need to read that product's documentation to
understand how to open up the ports that Xitami might use").

   fix (vb.): 1. to paper over, obscure, hide from public view; 2. to
   work around, in a way that produces unintended consequences that are
   worse than the original problem.  Usage: "Windows ME fixes many of the
   shortcomings of Windows 98 SE".
