Coincidence. I just had to turn this on on one of my file-servers 
yesterday :D

Check in "/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config", there should be a line with 
IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp"
or
IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_nat_ftp"
The latter will load the former, you can also use the first one by 
itself if you don't need NAT :)
I'm guessing your iptables must be loading the ip_nat_ftp module then...

Hope that helps,

Marcel
