Hello, this is my first posting on this list and unfortunately discribes a serious problem which I think will hit us all these days since there were some kernel flaws that forces the use of current kernel versions.
I've upgraded firewall machines to latest fedora core 6 versions of all packages and am now experiencing problems with FTP connections (maybe there are more protocols affected). These problems occur because shorewall cannot load helper kernel modules which are needed. I've traced this problems to the new kernel 2.6.20 which has some differences in its modules tree. ip_conntrack_ftp no longer exists and is replaced by nf_conntrack_ftp and nf_nat_ftp. Loading these solves connection problems immediately. The question is now how long does it take until a new shorewall-release will fix /usr/share/shorewall/modules or is it required to change this manually. Is anybody else experiencing the same flaws and has an appropriate fix for this? I've manually loaded the missing modules but I need a better solution. Greetings, Frank
