Active FTP through a masqueraded configuration

[Thierry de Villeneuve <tdevill1 san rr com>]

Dear All

My two NIC box is the firewall of my private LAN. So far I got everything working fine but no applications on the private LAN can do active FTP.

I got the word about an ipmasq-ftp.o module required in the kernel.

What's the case with RH 5.2 ?

In any case, here is my ipfwadm script. in case my firewall is set too "strongly".


/sbin/ipfwadm -I -f # flush existing input rules
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -f # flush existing output rules
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -f # flush existing forwarding rules
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -p accept
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -p accept
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -D 0.0.0.0/0


Thanks a lot,
Thierry
