I am wondering if it is possible to add support for non standard ftp ports on the fly in kernel 2.4.21. What happens sometimes is that I have 3 or 4 existing ftp connections with other users, and I want to connect to someone who has their ftp on a non standard port, and who is also behind a firewall that doesn't handle passive requests properly. The only way for me to connect to them is to change my firewall to rewrite active requests. As I already have transfers active, the masq modules are in use, and I therefore cannot unload them in order to reload them. Even cancelling all of my ftp clients, and shutting down my ftp server doesn't seem to release the modules. My only recourse is to reboot the firewall after changing the modprobe lines for both ftp modules. Ideally it would be nice if I didn't have to unload and load the modules at all, and therefore not break all the existing ftp connections. Is this possible / plausible? _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ -- THIS INCLUDES UNSUBSCRIBING! or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
