In short....
I believe that the modules named ip_nat_* (like ip_nat_ftp) should be named
ip_conntrack_* (ip_conntrack_ftp). "nat" is not correct because they are used
in cases where nat is not performed.
For example, firewalls that want to allow ftp sessions will load the
ip_nat_ftp module no matter if they are doing nat or not... Since this has to
do with connection tracking their name should contain 'conntrack' instead of
'nat'.
Sorry if this is a known issue...
TIA
