Hi people,
I am the sysadmin of a netowrk in our organization. We go to internet via firewall, based on Linux 7.1 and ipchains script.
My colleauges complain that they cannot work with ftp.
I reviewed the script, and noticed that ip_masq_ftp was not enabled (I think it must be enabled for user from local network to view ftp)
I uncommented the line
modprobe ip_masq_ftp
from the ipchains firewall script , but it said it did not find the ip_masq_ftp module.
I have read that 2.4 kernel prefers iptables, and there are problems with this masquerading modules, since they are part of NAT modules now.
Does anyone of you know how to solve this problem (enable masquerading of ftp), but without the rewriting of the script to iptables lingo, or installing Linux 6.2?
Since I am a bit new to the linux world, please point me the howtos or documentation pages for installing/uninstalling (or enabling/disabling is better solution
) of the modules needed for masquerading.Regards,
Nikola Levandis
