After upgrading to iptables-1.2.8-8.90.1.legacy for Red Hat 9, I have found

4 physical interfaces). It no longer recognizes the data sessions associated
with an ftp control session. When I open the high ports in iptables, the
data session will work.

With the new iptables package, you have to manually add "ip_conntrack_ftp" to the IPTABLES_MODULES="" variable in the /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config file and uncomment the line.

Please try that and report back here if it worked so we can close the bug.

Umm.. that shouldn't be needed -- the whole point is that the modules are loaded properly? (Of course, it can be tried...)


But that said, something _is_ wrong. I started hearing weird reports from our multi-interface RHL9-based firewall as well, and I couldn't associate them until now.

It would be interesting to know whether conntrack_ftp is:
 - automatically loaded or not
 - actually loaded when conntracking fails
 - whether conntracking works on some interfaces and not in others
