I'm running RH6.2 and linuxconf 1.19r2. The machine has two ethernet interfaces, eth0 on the local network and eth1 connected to the Internet. I have installed wu-ftpd-2.6.0-14.6x and anonftp-3.0-3 to provide anonymous ftp service to the Internet. Everything seems to be configured correctly as the internal machines can correctly access the Internet. Ftp from a machine on the internal network to the firewall works correctly. Ftp from the firewall to the firewall works correctly. However, whenever someone tried to connect from Internet, their ftp connection hangs for 3-4 minutes before giving a "Can't build data connection" error on the ftp client. I have used the "internet firewall and masquerade" option under linuxconf to setup a basic masquerading firewall on the machine, and have enabled service 21/ftp under the TCP services section. I have confirmed that port 21 is open (/sbin/ipchains -L -v). I know my service provider is not blocking port 21, since telneting to port 21 gives me the wu-ftp banner.
Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore
