Whatever some people are sending in code/diffs for :) > Would they permit traffic like ftp-proxy do with active FTP across NAT or > will be application level filters ? Eh? I think you misunderstood the concept and working of ftp-proxy. Actually active FTP can be used via NAT rules, without ftp-proxy. ftp-proxy comes espcially into target, if you want to use passive ftp. And it's a transparent application level gateway there. > Also I would like to know if ftp-proxy could be used to protect/filter a FTP > server even if it's secure, like OpenBSD ftpd. Yes, while IIRC rev-proxy-support is only in -current. Daniel? > In the end, what would be the target: > Protect a service or Permit a service ? What's the difference? :) Usually you use paketfilter to protect permissions ;0 ciao -- Philipp Buehler - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://sysfive.com/ sysfive.com GmbH - UNIX. Networking. Security.
