How do I do this? For a 2.6 kernel, and I know this works in SuSE 9/10, modify /etc/modprobe.conf.local and add options lines like: options ip_conntrackports=21,4559 options ip_nat_ftpports=21,4559 You might need to `depmod -a` to make this have effect. The next time you insert these modules (modprobe or insmod), it will use these port values. --Keith -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

The first comments in that file are a little short, but they summarise what's required pretty well: # Load additional iptables modules (nat helpers) # Default: -none- # Space separated list of nat helpers (e.g. 'ip_nat_ftp ip_nat_irc'), which # are loaded after the firewall rules are applied. Options for the helpers are # stored in /etc/modprobe.conf. IPTABLES_MODULES= So in your case that var would be IPTABLES_MODULES=ip_conntrack ip_nat_ftp I tried ... /etc/modprobe.conf.local and add options lines like: options ip_conntrackports=21,4559 options ip_nat_ftpports=21,4559 .. Yeah I dunno about /etc/modprobe.conf.local; I'd just put those lines in /etc/modprobe.conf as suggested by Keith but I only had modprobe.conf. So after editing the file and rebooting the firewall was still blocking the transmission from the hylafax client. Does this file get processed on boot You should be able to do /sbin/service iptables restart to get it working after the previous config changes, but by all means do a reboot to satisfy yourself that it still works after a reboot.

It also looks like you have iptables save and restore on stop/start. Mine doesn't; I explicitly maintain /etc/sysconfig/iptables under version control. Whether it saves/restores or not seems to be another option in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config. I suggest you set IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_STOP=no IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_RESTART=no as well. You can send your /etc/sysconfig/iptables file to me privately if you want and I'll give it a butchers.

Re: FW: [SLUG] hylafax
Hi Phil, I used to setup HylaFAX with WHFC, eons ago. http://www.uli-eckhardt.de/whfc/ As I recall, WHFC just worked straight out of the box, as long as you tell WHFC where HylaFAX lives. Looks like WHFC is still being maintained.

I used this howto when I setup hylafax for a windows laptop. http://brneurosci.org/linuxsetup24.html On Sun, 2006-03-12 at 22:40 +1100, Phill O'Flynn wrote: I am having trouble sending a fax from a windows client (winprint hylafax) and I can't figure out why I can send a fax from the linux box ok.
