Well... IP Masquerading was working wonderfully. In fact, everything w=
as
working so well, I decided to try out the 2.1.0 kernel by applying the
tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/system/testing/pre-* patch to the 2.0.=
21=20
source.
Evidently, the pre-2.1.0 breaks something to do with Masquerading or th=
e
ip_masq_ftp module. If I swap back to an old kernel, everything works. =
If
I use the new one... I can ftp, but not do "ls" or various other things=
.
-Nope, I didn't forget to do a make modules ; make modules_install
I'm back to 2.0.21 now... and working fine. -I was just wondering if
anyone else had noticed this.
later,
Garrett
