[ILUG] ftp server test - iptables problem

[ILUG] ftp server test - iptables problem

Great stuff, thanks!

I solved it by changing the line below in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config
file, from

*IPTABLES_MODULES=""
*
to

*IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp"
*
This makes the module to be automatically loaded when starting iptables. It
worked perfectly.

Cheers!

David
