I'm trying to make visible on the pulic net an ftp server that resides behind a masquerading box (Debian 2.1 kernel 2.0.36). I read the IP Masquerading HOWTO and I understand that it is only possible with kernel 2.0.x patched with IPPORTFW (subs-patch-1.37.gz) and portfw-ftp-patch (remeber the ftp has ip addresses on his control connection)... what about 2.2.x kernels? I tried to use IPPORTFW but I'm not lucky: I see the packtes trying to come back (ipfwadm -lM on the firewall itself) but they never leave the machine.
Does anyone have a working setup on this? Reading the Ipchains HOWTO I found a sentence "with kernel 2.0.36 ipportfw doesnt work because the patch is old" ... but the patch on the site is not old! What about ipfilter? I need some delucidations that I'm not able to find on documetation Please any help is apreciated ------- Luca Fornasari E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Manager Web: http://www.mediaservice.net/furna Mediaservice snc Tel: +39-011-3272100 Via R.
