root@p500:~# insmod ip_conntrack_ftp insmod: can't read 'ip_conntrack_ftp': No such file or directory root@p500:~# - Insmod is when you load the module directly, there it would not work unless you were in the _same_ directory as the ip_conntrack_ftp and you renamed the ip_conntrack_ftp.{ko,o} ip_conntrack_ftp, then it would work. Otherwise, I do not see how you come to that conclusion. -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Antony Stone Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 8:23 AM To: netfilter Subject: Re: Allow active and passive FTP connections On Thursday 17 June 2004 1:13 pm, Piszcz, Justin Michael wrote: > I think he meant, modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp and if you are behind nat > there is a module for that as well. insmod should do the job perfectly well. NAT is very unlikely when the rules are running on the FTP server itself (they're in the INPUT & OUTPUT chains).
