Hi, I have a SuSE 7.3 firewall protecting a 192.168 LAN. I use SuSEfirewall2 on it. Now if I want to provide any services on one of the local machines, I need to 'forward masquerade' the access. I understand that this potentially dangerous but want to do it regardless. For a local FTP server, what would I have to do? Only forward masq port 21 (assuming passive mode) or is there anything else I need to consider? E.g. in firewall2.rc.config: FW_FORWARD_MASQ="0.0.0.0/0,192.168.100.102,tcp,21". Previously, I had installed for the same purpose the ftp-proxy from the SuSE sponsored(?) proxy-suite. However it appears not to be compilable against 2.4.17 kernels - it includes rather staggering numbers of kernel includes. Am I correct to presume that ftp-proxy is for 2.2 kernels only? It would be nice, but probably asking too much, if the 'obsolete' little porjects could just stand up and declare themselves obsoleted by such-and-such better alternative. More often then not I stagger across the search results only to find things which are no longer applicable or even abandonned and fail to mention they are part of the past, but not the future. Thanks! Martin
