[NTLUG:Discuss] ftpaccess

[Cox, Chris]

I have never done this (and I apologize for the Outlook post)...

But I think you made need a hyphen between the port numbers
5301-5303

(it's a guess... but I saw this in some other Usenet posts)

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] ftpaccess


I'm running RH6.0 and wu-ftpd 6.0.0-14.6x (RPM from RedHat).  I'm trying to
configure ftpd to use only certain ports for passive transfers (so I can
limit what is mapped in the firewall).  From the man page, I'm using this
line in /etc/ftpaccess:

passive ports 0.0.0.0/0 5301 5303

That is *supposed* to limit the range of ports to 5301, 5302 and 5303.
However, ftpd seems to keep sending different ports on the control line.

I've also tried changing other values in ftpaccess just to make certain the
file is being read upon startup.  Those changes always work, just like
they're suppose to!

Has anyone else experienced this?  Did I misread the man page?  Any ideas?
