What do you mean fixed?  Suppose I have NetWare mounted from DOS a 
I run Chameleon in Windows.  Does Chamleon ftpd block me from mounting 
netware directories?

Even if the firewall restricts ftp access to only a certain set of 
external IP's.  The local sec admin must still remember that the 
NetWare drive is not safe just because the netware server isn't running 
ftpd.
