I have now added ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config (and removed them from /etc/rc.modules). The basic ip_conntrack is loaded automatically so I left it out. Now full ftp connection tracking is back :)

This is good to know. However, did you explicitly check whether the modules were or were not loaded after a restart and loading int he rules without changing iptables-config?


That is, the whole purpose of the Fedora Legacy security update _was_ to fix the automatic loading of modules. If this doesn't work... we have a problem.

Hmm. Could you try out RPMs at:

http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/linux/iptables-1.2.8-8.90.2.legacy.i386.rpm
http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/linux/iptables-1.2.8-8.90.2.legacy.src.rpm
http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/linux/iptables-ipv6-1.2.8-8.90.2.legacy.i386.rpm

The only change was to replace:
+	ret = malloc(PROCFILE_BUFSIZ);
with:
+	ret = (char *) malloc(PROCFILE_BUFSIZ);

because that's how it's done in upstream CVS and Debian.

If that fixes it, Red Hat's FC3 fix that we used was broken..
