Hello, I'm using a Firewall for FTP, that it's called by inetd daemon. When I make FTP to a local direction it works, but if I make ftp to an external direction (Internet) the inetd daemon doesn't work, I can access to the ftp direction but inetd isn't used. Could anybody tell me which service is used when I go to an external direction? Thanks Torres.
Hello, I'm using a Firewall for FTP, that it's called by inetd daemon.
If your saying INETD starts your firewall this config is incorrect your firewall Has to be started before your network. When I make FTP to a local direction it works, but if I make

Is your firewall configured to allow public connections to your ftp ?

How do you know inetd isn't used ? Are you checking the ftp, and kernel logs ? Perhaps it would be more helpful to explain 1.) the type of firewall (SuSE, Custom etc) and how it is configured. 2.) what ftp server is being used 3.) your network config
I'm using SuSE 8.0, and the firewall is TIS fwtk. This firewall has many independent applications, and one of them is ftp-gw, that it's a ftp proxy. The firewall's documentation says that I have to comment, in the inetd.conf file, the line: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd And use the line: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/ftp-gw ftp-gw Then, the firewall has a file called netperm-table where I can configure the IP addresses that can use the ftp service, and which directions they can access. My problem is that, if I try to access to a computer from my local network by ftp, the ftp-gw works (there is a message from ftp-gw that appears at the init of the communication, and I only can use the ftp service if I give the permission with the netperm-table rules). In this case, if see the file /var/log/messages, there is a line that says that I'm using the inetd daemon and it calls the ftp-gw service. But, if access from my computer to a Internet ftp server (ftp.rediris.es) I always can access, the rules for the ftp-gw doesn't work, the message from ftp-gw doesn't appears at the init of the service, and, if I see the file /var/log/messages, no line is written. So, I suppose that, when I go out from my local network, maybe I am using another service, no the inetd daemon. Is this possible?? Thank you very much for your help :-) Torres. -----Mensaje original----- De: studio3arc.com Admin [mailto:admin@studio3arc.com] Enviado el: miércoles, 04 de diciembre de 2002 19:10 Para: ISLERO77@telefonica.net; suse-security@suse.com Asunto: RE: [suse-security] About inetd > > Hello, I'm using a Firewall for FTP, that it's called by inetd > daemon.
