Again, someone having problems with FTP:
I'm a bit confused about what port mode and passive mode is. So here a
description of my problems:
Simple IP masquerading (e.g. HTTP) works fine. ip_masq_ftp module is
loaded.
FTP works fine if data is tranferred on a connection initiated by the
remote site (from port 20).
If the data connection is initiated by the masqueraded client the
connection fails. /var/log/messages lists messages like this:
IP fw-fwd deny eth1 TCP <ftp-client>:1282 198.105.232.1:4284 L=44 S=0x00
I=33050 F=0x0040 T=127
'ipfwadm -lMnex' shows: (slightly modified to fit into lines)
prot expire source destination ports
tcp 05:34.90 <ftp-client> 198.105.232.1 0 (61470) -> 4284
tcp 14:35.01 <ftp-client> 198.105.232.1 1281 (61469) -> 21
The underlying problems appears to be the faulty port mapping
'0 (61470) -> 4284' inserted by ip_masq_ftp. Any hints?
Thanks in advance
Gerd
