<para><trademark>Mandrake</trademark> have done it again with their 10.0

release. This time, they have decided that kernel modules should have

"ko.gz" for their suffix. If you are having problems with Mandrake

10.0 and FTP, change your <filename>/etc/shorewall/conf</filename> file

<para>The version of <command>insmod</command> shipped with 10.0 also does

not comprehend these module files so you will also need Shorewall 2.0.2 or

later OR you need to change <filename>/usr/share/shorewall/firewall</filename>

<title>FTP Protocol</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>FTP transfers involve two TCP connections. The first <emphasis
|
|
role="bold">control</emphasis> connection goes from the FTP client to port
|
|
21 on the FTP server. This connection is used for logon and to send
|
|
commands and responses between the endpoints. Data transfers (including
|
|
the output of <quote>ls</quote> and <quote>dir</quote> commands) requires
|
|
a second data connection. The <emphasis role="bold">data</emphasis>
|
|
connection is dependent on the <emphasis role="bold">mode</emphasis> that
|
|
the client is operating in:</para>

<para>(often the default for web browsers) -- The client issues a

|
PASV command. Upon receipt of this command, the server listens on a

dynamically-allocated port then sends a PASV reply to the client.
|
|
The PASV reply gives the IP address and port number that the server
|
|
is listening on. The client then opens a second connection to that
|
|
IP address and port number.</para>

<title>Linux FTP connection-tracking</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Given the normal loc->net policy of ACCEPT, passive mode access
|
|
from local clients to remote servers will always work but active mode
|
|
requires the firewall to dynamically open a <quote>hole</quote> for the
|
|
server's connection back to the client. Similarly, if you are running
|
|
an FTP server in your local zone then active mode should always work but
|
|
passive mode requires the firewall to dynamically open a <quote>hole</quote>
|
|
for the client's second connection to the server. This is the role of
|
|
FTP connection-tracking support in the Linux kernel.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Where any form of NAT (SNAT, DNAT, Masquerading) on your firewall is
|
|
involved, the PORT commands and PASV responses may also need to be
|
|
modified by the firewall. This is the job of the FTP nat support kernel
|
|
function.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Including FTP connection-tracking and NAT support normally means
|
|
that the modules <quote>ip_conntrack_ftp</quote> and <quote>ip_nat_ftp</quote>
|
|
need to be loaded. Shorewall automatically loads these <quote>helper</quote>
|
|
modules from /lib/modules/<<emphasis>kernel-version</emphasis>>/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/
|
|
and you can determine if they are loaded using the <quote>lsmod</quote>
|
|
command. The <<emphasis>kernel-version</emphasis>> may be obtained
|
|
by typing</para>

<title>FTP on Non-standard Ports</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The above discussion about commands and responses makes it clear
|
|
that the FTP connection-tracking and NAT helpers must scan the traffic on
|
|
the control connection looking for PASV and PORT commands as well as PASV
|
|
responses. If you run an FTP server on a nonstandard port or you need to
|
|
access such a server, you must therefore let the helpers know by
|
|
specifying the port in /etc/shorewall/modules entries for the helpers.
|
|
<caution><para>You must have modularized FTP connection tracking support
|
|
in order to use FTP on a non-standard port.</para></caution></para>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>if you run an FTP server that listens on port 49 or you need to
|
|
access a server on the internet that listens on that port then you would
|
|
have:</title>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>loadmodule ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,49
|
|
loadmodule ip_nat_ftp ports=21,49</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para><note><para>you MUST include port 21 in the ports list or you may
|
|
have problems accessing regular FTP servers.</para></note></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If there is a possibility that these modules might be loaded
|
|
before Shorewall starts, then you should include the port list in
|
|
/etc/modules.conf:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>options ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,49
|
|

<para>Note that you do <emphasis role="bold">NOT </emphasis>need a rule
|
|
with 20 (ftp-data) in the PORT(S) column. If you post your rules on the

mailing list and they show 20 in the PORT(S) column, I will know that you

|
you to RTFM.<example><title>Server running behind a Masquerading Gateway</title><para>Suppose
|

that you run an FTP server on 192.168.1.5 in your local zone using the

|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the FTP connection tracking in the kernel cannot handle
|
|
cases where a PORT command (or PASV reply) is broken across two packets.
|
|
When such cases occur, you will see a console message similar to this one:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>Apr 28 23:55:09 gateway kernel: conntrack_ftp: partial PORT 715014972+1</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para> I see this problem occasionally with the FTP server in my DMZ. My
|
|
solution is to add the following rule:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DESTINATION PROTO PORT(S) SOURCE ORIGINAL
|
|
# PORT(S) DESTINATION
|
|
ACCEPT:info dmz net tcp - 20</programlisting>

DMZ to the net.</para>
