Hello, my firewall is currently set up to do ip-masquerading only and everthing works fine but ftp. I can conect to an remote host but every ftp-command leeds to an error: illegal protocol
What do have to do to get rid of this?
root # insmod ip_masq_ftp should do the trick. The ftp mod has to be loaded for ftp to work on masq'ed boxes. [Note: Used on an ipfwadm box (2.0.34, SuSE 5.2), but module is still present on my desktop (2.2.11-4, Indy 6.0-0.8) box, so I assume it is still required for 2.2* kernels.] HTH, David -- David Webster | cognite.net | Project Independence Linux, Security: cog@seul.org | cogito, ergo sum | http://independence.seul.org/security/ Our moral progression cannot begin until we have independence
