Hi All,
My iptables firewall ported from RHEL won't connect to ftp sites and throws this error (written by me years ago):
WARNING: active FTP rules have been selected but one or more necessary modules have not been detected
In /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config, you must add ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack_ftp to IPTABLES_MODULES. Delimiter is a space. For example: IPTABLES_MODULES=ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack_ftp
To load changes, use: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables restart # systemctl restart iptables
To check if modules are loaded, use lsmod
is Fedora doing FTP differently in iptables?
where do I find
ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack_ftp now a days?
I can't locate my notes at the moment. But I believe the way things are done in the netfilter framework has changed.
If memory servers me the nf_conntrack_ipv4 will load, as needed, the necessary "helper". I use the standard firewall and these modules are loaded.
xt_conntrack 16384 21 nf_conntrack_ipv6 16384 12 nf_defrag_ipv6 20480 1 nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv4 16384 11 nf_defrag_ipv4 16384 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_conntrack 147456 6 xt_conntrack,nf_conntrack_ipv6,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_nat,nf_nat_ipv6,nf_nat_ipv4 libcrc32c 16384 2 nf_conntrack,nf_nat
and ftp works fine.
ip_nat_ftp does not exist on my system. But I do have nf_conntrack_ftp.
