Off Topic : ftp and firewall issues

[William Jensen <jensenb@bodach.com>]

Call me goofy because my firewall decided it was going to stop working.  I have
the following line in for allowing ftp info back and forth...

$IPT -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn --source-port 20 --destination-port 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT

I also tried..port 21

$IPT -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn --source-port 21 --destination-port 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT

I can ftp into a ftp site and move around directories but I cannot see anything
on a ls.  What have I wrought?

Grumbling,

Wm
