I am trying to get cvsup to run through a TIS firewall. This firewall supports a plug-gw, where a connection from a host to a port can be accepted from one side of the firwall and re-established to another host at the other side: my-host:xxxx -> firewall:5999 -> firewall:xxx -> cvsup.freebsd:5999 I had set up a rule to allow cvsup.freebsd.org:xxx -> firewall:5998 -> firewall:xxx -> my-host:5998 and I called cvsup -P 5998 Unfortunately the PORT command sent by cvsup has 'my-host' IP address and port 5998 in there, so cvsup.freebsd tries to connect there, and of course my-host is unknown on the internet. Passive mode does not work because it will connect to a port that can be different with each invocation and I need to instruct the plug-gw which ports to connect to. Is there any way whereby I can tell the server to connect to the firewall (in stead of my-host) on a given port or is there any way I can specify a portnumber I can connect to on the server in passive mode? Any other suggestions ? Thanks, Dick van den Burg
