Subject: aftpd and new ways of ftping

Hello,
I took a look at mjr's aftpd.  It is really cool and the code looks great
(as ussual).  It is a one trick pony, just anonymous ftp.  Very nice.

I trust it and I am going to use it but there is a problem with choke
routers and the rest of the world.  It runs as non-root and as explained in
the README, it does not BIND to 20 for its other channel, it just picks one
high (>1023) and goes for it. So...

Traditional:
set filter inter.in permit 0.0.0.0/0   BASTION/32  tcp dst eq 21 log
set filter inter.in permit 0.0.0.0/0   BASTION/32  tcp src eq 20 dst gt 1023 log

will need to be changed now to:
set filter inter.in permit 0.0.0.0/0   BASTION/32  tcp dst eq 21 log
set filter inter.in permit 0.0.0.0/0   BASTION/32  tcp src gt 1023 dst gt
1023 log

I cant think of any other way to scope its now new data channel that used
to be on tcp src 20.

Any ideas?

I have so many mixed feelings about this.
No sleep tonight. :-)
