From a client computer running behind my slackware 8 firewall (ipchains 1.3.10), I am trying to ftp to non-ftp ports, however it starts to log in and just hangs. The only ports that I can ftp to from my client machine are ports 20 or 21. Likewise, I am having similar problems trying to listen to streams on port 8000 or whichever from the client machine as well. My rc.firewall is a pretty common script but here is the relevent stuff:
#comments
/sbin/depmod -a
#more comments
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
#even more comments
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
#and again more comments
/sbin/ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160
#and then finally
/sbin/ipchains -F forward
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.2/24 -j MASQ
I've spent day after day learning about ipchains but I'm not really finding anything on allowing client machines to ftp to non-ftp ports or streaming music on something other than port 80. Any info would be sooooo peace.
