Where is it best to have my ftp server: On the router box or on another box on the lan? If the latter (I think that's the right answer), I have Router 192.168.0.1 eth0 --> 192.168.1.3 (eth1) eth0 is firewalled as SuSEfirewall2 external zone with port 21 open to which ftp requests are sent. If vsftpd is running on 192.168.1.1 can someone give me the (I think it's FW_REDIRECT) syntax to put in the firewall script on the router? Do the high passive ports (30000 to 30100 by default) also have to be forwarded? This is the closest I can get to answering it myself but that article mentions a colon as part of the syntax in the fw_redirect which appears in none of the examples I can find: http://archives.devshed.com/forums/linux-security-116/fw-redirect-in-suse- firewall-1106921.html Thanks and have a great weekend, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
