How randomly? It would be helpful to know at which stage
they offer the 421. According to RFC 959, it is a valid

Does it occur with PASV set? My guess is that it's a
firewall/ports issue. conntrack_ftp perhaps.

I imagine you'll get an FTPd misconfigured just as easily
with FreeBSD as with Linux.

Oh, I almost forgot the obligatory "use SFTP via SSH, FTP is
a dog of a protocol and sends passwords in the clear".
