Another iptables Active FTP Issue
 
If I post my rc.firewall file, can someone look at it an tell me whats wrong, why can't I connect to another ftp server from my linux server using ftp?

kev82 09-26-2003 06:28 PM

at a guess your either using connection tracking (--state in iptables) and you havnt modprobed ip_conntrack_ftp or your using nat(masquerade, dnat, etc) and you havnt modprobed ip_nat_ftp, or the obvious choice - youve blocked ftp

Here is mr rc.firewall file, please help.

#!/bin/sh
#
# rc.firewall-2.4-stronger
#
FWVER=0.75s

# An example of a stronger IPTABLES firewall with IP Masquerade
# support for 2.4.x kernels.
#
# Log:
#
# 0.75s - Added clarification that PPPoE users need to use
# "ppp0" instead of "eth0" for their external interface
# 0.74s - Changed the EXTIP command to work on NON-English distros
# 0.73s - Added comments in the output section that DHCPd is optional
# and changed the default settings to disabled
# 0.72s - Changed the filter from the INTNET to the INTIP to be
# stateful; moved the command VARs to the top and made the
# rest of the script to use them
# 0.70s - Added a disabled examples for allowing internal DHCP
# and external WWW access to the server
# 0.63s - Added support for the IRC module
# 0.62s - Initial version based upon the basic 2.4.x rc.firewall

# The location of various iptables and other shell programs
#
# If your Linux distribution came with a copy of iptables, most
# likely it is located in /sbin. If you manually compiled
# iptables, the default location is in /usr/local/sbin
#
# ** Please use the "whereis iptables" command to figure out
# ** where your copy is and change the path below to reflect
# ** your setup
#
IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
#IPTABLES=/usr/local/sbin/iptables
#
LSMOD=/sbin/lsmod
DEPMOD=/sbin/depmod
INSMOD=/sbin/insmod
GREP=/bin/grep
AWK=/bin/awk
SED=/bin/sed
IFCONFIG=/sbin/ifconfig


#Setting the EXTERNAL and INTERNAL interfaces for the network
#
# Each IP Masquerade network needs to have at least one
# external and one internal network. The external network
# is where the natting will occur and the internal network
# should preferably be addressed with a RFC1918 private address
# scheme.
#
# For this example, "eth0" is external and "eth1" is internal"
#
# NOTE: If this doesnt EXACTLY fit your configuration, you must
# change the EXTIF or INTIF variables above. For example:
#
# If you are a PPPoE or analog modem user:
#
# EXTIF="ppp0"
#
EXTIF="ppp0"
INTIF="eth0"
echo " External Interface: $EXTIF"
echo " Internal Interface: $INTIF"
echo " ---"

# Specify your Static IP address here or let the script take care of it
# for you.
#
# If you prefer to use STATIC addresses in your firewalls, un-# out the
# static example below and # out the dynamic line. If you don't care,
# just leave this section alone.
#
# If you have a DYNAMIC IP address, the ruleset already takes care of
# this for you. Please note that the different single and double quote
# characters and the script MATTER.
#
#
# DHCP users:
# -----------
# If you get your TCP/IP address via DHCP, **you will need ** to enable the
# #ed out command below underneath the PPP section AND replace the word
# "eth0" with the name of your EXTERNAL Internet connection (ppp0, ippp0,
# etc) on the lines for "ppp-ip" and "extip". You should also note that the
# DHCP server can and will change IP addresses on you. To deal with this,
# users should configure their DHCP client to re-run the rc.firewall ruleset
# everytime the DHCP lease is renewed.
#
# NOTE #1: Some DHCP clients like the original "pump" (the newer
# versions have been fixed) did NOT have the ability to run
# scripts after a lease-renew. Because of this, you need to
# replace it with something like "dhcpcd" or "dhclient".
#
# NOTE #2: The syntax for "dhcpcd" has changed in recent versions.
#
# Older versions used syntax like:
# dhcpcd -c /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall eth0
#
# Newer versions execute a file called /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe
#
# NOTE #3: For Pump users, put the following line in /etc/pump.conf:
#
# script /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
#
# PPP users:
# ----------
# If you aren't already aware, the /etc/ppp/ip-up script is always run when
# a PPP connection comes up. Because of this, we can make the ruleset go and
# get the new PPP IP address and update the strong firewall ruleset.
#
# If the /etc/ppp/ip-up file already exists, you should edit it and add a line
# containing "/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall" near the end of the file.
#
# If you don't already have a /etc/ppp/ip-up sccript, you need to create the
# following link to run the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script.
#
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall /etc/ppp/ip-up
#
# * You then want to enable the #ed out shell command below *
#
#
# Determine the external IP automatically:
# ----------------------------------------
#
# The following line will determine your external IP address. This
# line is somewhat complex and confusing but it will also work for
# all NON-English Linux distributions:
#
EXTIP="`$IFCONFIG $EXTIF | $AWK \
/$EXTIF/'{next}//{split($0,a,":");split(a[2],a," ");print a[1];exit}'`"


# For users who wish to use STATIC IP addresses:
#
# # out the EXTIP line above and un-# out the EXTIP line below
#
#EXTIP="your.static.PPP.address"
echo " External IP: $EXTIP"
echo " ---"


# Assign the internal TCP/IP network and IP address
INTNET="192.168.1.0/24"
INTIP="192.168.1.1/24"
echo " Internal Network: $INTNET"
echo " Internal IP: $INTIP"

i cant see anything wrong, but its a very long script and i might have missed something, i suggest you firstly run lsmod to check that both ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack_ftp have actualy been loaded although the script appears to load them. if they are loaded can you post the output of iptables-save.
