I'm in lazy mode now, so I don't remember which is which; in passive mode 
the server side firewall is problematic, and in active mode it is the 
client side firewall which is problematic - or the other way round, I'd 
have to check, but I wont right now ;-)

And, in recent SuSE versions, this should be handled transparently by the 
ftp conntrack module.

nimrodel:~ # lsmod | grep conntrack
ip_conntrack_ftp       73616  1 ip_nat_ftp
ip_conntrack           45624  4 ipt_state,ip_nat_ftp,iptable_nat,ip_conntrack_ftp

Perhaps declaring the ftp port by name instead of number will make the 
trick, dunno.

There is no opensuse distro. I suppose you mean suse 10.0 oss.
