SLES 10 + vsftpd + SuSEfirewall2 problems

yanik · 11-08-2006, 11:03 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to setup a secure FTP server on a SLES 10 box.

I used Yast2 to install vsftpd, I configured it standalone and I use a chrootlist.

I also used Yast2 to open TCP ports 20 and 21 on the firewall.

AppArmor is disabled.

Everything is working well without the firewall, but as soon as I enable the firewall, I get problems. I can log in, but I can't enter passive mode, so I don't get any directory listing and thus can't do anything.

ANy hints?

Thanks

Yanik

One way to start troubleshooting this would be to follow the firewall log as you're trying to connect.

Code:

tail -f /var/log/firewall

That might give you some hints as to what's being blocked, and possibly what additional ports you have to open.
