I have firewalling rules in place for FTP traffic (both passive and active) however when I restart IPTables I notice that the module ip_conntrack_ftp does not load, I have to load it manually. This presents a problem if someone other than myself has to reload firewall rules on this machine but isn't aware of the FTP rules/needs.

Patch /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config, mine looks like:
# Additional iptables modules (nat helper)
# Default: -empty-
IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp"
