2009/8/20 Craig Ayliffe : > egrep -v "^#" /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config > > /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config_tmp A bit nicer way - to get rid of empty lines as well, is: egrep -v '^(#|$)' /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config Or: egrep -v "^#" /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config | cat -s to remove multiple blank lines from output. "| less -s" will get the same effect. Cheers, --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

The main possible difference I can see is the use of passive connections - could be that one of them uses them and the other doesn't and that could make the whole difference. Try to make the clients more verbose, or sniff the traffic with Wireshark (use "follow TCP connection" to get a very easy-to-read trace of the command stream).

I think they had /var/log/firewall or something? They'll be in /var/log/messages Bottom line, ftp is a pretty firewall un-friendly protocol.

[SLUG] RE:Transferring iceape bookmarks
My method, which I've just worked out again as I forgot what I'd done previously) when I want to set up Firefox and Thundrbird in a new install, is to copy the old installs /home/xxx/.mozilla ( or /home//.mozilla-thunderbird) to the /home// of the new install BEFORE running either Firefox or Thunderbird. I then run ( in a terminal) sudo firefox-x.x ( ie firefox-3.5) -profilemanager ( or sudo thunderbird -profilemanager), which finds the copied user profile. Just accept it and then select "run" and it will set up everything and even download and install updated plugins etc. Hope this helps - your Iceape should be included in all of this automatically I imagine.
