Re: ipfwadm / ipchains: can't enable ssh !

[Marco Maggesi <maggesi@math.unifi.it>]

it seems that ssh uses privileged ports (0:1023)
on the source host and port 22 on the target host.

so, with ipfwadm I use someting like

  # forward ssh connections to outside hosts
  ipfwadm -F -a forward -P tcp -S 192.168.0.0/16 0:1023 -D 0.0.0.0/0 22

that works fine for me.

I have never experimented ipchains (I still use
kenel linux 2.0.x)

hope this help.
