Unless you're going to be testing the efficiency of the SMP code, leave
SMP_PROF undefined.  Owning a SMP machine, I very very very strongly recommend
you run a 2.1 kernel.  The SMP is far better implemented, and the kernel now
actually has many locks, as opposed to one great big mutha of a lock. (Read, much
faster).

/sbin/modprobe ftp_masq ? Can't remember the exact module name, but ftp_masq,
or the like.
