The isp I administrate is running a full set of Redhat 9 servers.  (Not
my choice)  But, as I just took over the position recently, I have been
upgrading the security all around.  In doing this I've installed a
Bridging firewall running FreeBSD 4.9 compiled for the security branch,
and IPFW.  It seems that just as I installed this firewall, a customer
is no longer able to ftp into our main Redhat machine.  The redhat
machine is running Proftpd 1.2.9.  
 
The issue:
 
The user can log in and authenticate.  It successfully authenticates his
password as it should, but then when he tries to get a directory listing
it bombs.  It looks at first like a passive/active issue, but, I've
opened the appropriate ports on the firewall, and even assigned the
passive ports in Proftpd.  He has tried passive and active modes both,
with the same results.  Mind you all other customers do not have any
issues.

The ip range that he's coming from was just recently issued by SBC
recently.  I've also tried opening all ports and ips to this ip address
for him.  To no avail.
 
The customer did not have any issues prior to installing the Freebsd
firewall/bridge.  He was also using the current ip address prior as
well.
 
If anyone has a figment of a clue, it would be worlds of help to me.
