Hello,
I have FreeBSD (4.1 release) box with packet filtering enabled.
The problem is that the current set of rules doesn't allow ftp
passive mode connections. The ipfw rules are as follows:
# Set quiet mode
fwcmd="/sbin/ipfw -q"
# Set network configuration
ip="172.16.4.1"
proxy1="172.16.4.2"
# First clean up all the existing rules
${fwcmd} -f flush
# Only in rare cases do you want to change these rules
${fwcmd} add 100 pass all from any to any via lo0
${fwcmd} add 200 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8
# Allow TCP through if setup succeeded
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to any established
# Allow IP fragments to path through
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any frag
# Allow access to our WWW
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to ${ip} http setup
# Allow ICMP send/reply
${fwcmd} add pass icmp from any to ${ip}
${fwcmd} add pass icmp from ${ip} to any
# Allow access to our FTP
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to ${ip} ftp setup
# Allow access to our SSH
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to ${ip} ssh setup
# Allow access to our SMTP
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from ${ip} smtp to any setup
# Allow access to our Telnet from proxy-servers only
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from ${proxy1} to ${ip} telnet setup
# Allow setup of outgoing TCP connections only
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from ${ip} to any setup
# Disallow setup of all other TCP connections
${fwcmd} add deny tcp from any to any setup
# Allow DNS queries out in the world
${fwcmd} add pass udp from any 53 to ${ip}
${fwcmd} add pass udp from ${ip} to any 53
"man ftpd" says: "... the server will use data ports in the range
49152..65535" for passive mode connections, and after running
netstat I figured out that I have to alter ipfw rules in order
to allow connections to that range of ports. Am I right?
What is the best way to alter the current set of rules?
Best regards,
Kirill
