RE: fxp doesnt work & connection tracking

[Stewart Thompson <stewart.thompson@shaw.ca>]

Hi:

	I don't see any rules to accept new connections. You are only
allowing Established and Related connections. So another machine will
never be able to start a connection. I am not familiar with fxp. Is the
connection to your firewall machine, or forwarded to an internal machine?
The output might work because I don't see any rules here to prevent outgoing
connections. You might have to post your whole rule set so we can see
exactly what you are trying to do.

hi!

if i apply these rules, then incoming fxp's dont work (outgoing is still
work).. any idea?
:
iptables -N szabalyok
iptables -A szabalyok -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A szabalyok -p tcp --dport 21 -d <ip> -j ACCEPT
iptables -A szabalyok -p tcp --dport 22 -d <ip> -j ACCEPT
iptables -A szabalyok -p tcp --dport 1024: -m state --state
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A szabalyok -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -j szabalyok
iptables -A FORWARD -j szabalyok

other:
before that, i did:
modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,etc,etc
modprobe ip_conntrack_irc ports=6667,6668,6669,7000,31337

but in lsmod i see:
ip_conntrack_irc        2400   0  (unused)
ip_conntrack_ftp        3136   0  (unused)

why is that? if i understand the howto correctly, it should be unused..
any idea?
