Due to ISP restrictions, I must change the default port on which ftpd runs in order to enable ftp access to and from my machine. I had to do the same for my httpd server, but that information was a bit more accessible. Reading material has been sparse, but I've read that adding a port number/range to the ftpd entry /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf might do the trick. Is this an acceptible way of going about changing the ftp ports? If this box is sitting behind a hardware firewall (Linksys router), what range would you recommend I open in the firewall for a maximum of 5 ftp users? Same question for security on the FBSD box itself? Quick sidebar: DNS is setting my domainname to my ISP's domain, not my local domain, which is causing some problems. "man domainname" tells me " The super-user can set the domain name by supplying an argument", which I assume means "domainname <domain>". But this setting does not stick on reboot. Is there an easy fix?
