Thanks for the responses. I had a services list from different books 
like the one from Cheswick/Bellovin, but some tips of you made it 
feasable for me to extend this list:

RFC 1700
strobe.services from the program strobe by Julian Assange 
(ftp://suburbia.net/pub/strobe.tgz)

I found out that most denied packets are ftp data connections (tcp 
src gt 1023 dst gt 1023) used by the Netscape WWW browser. This seems to 
be a dangerous fact: browsers like Mosaic use the assigned ftp-data 
channel, but Netscape uses non-privileged ports nearly at random. Of 
course, some of the services found in strobe.services or RFC1700 are 
perfectly overridden ;-)

Any ideas, how to handle ftp from WWW-browsers (except from removing 
the ftp-gateway pages)?

Greetings,
  Frank
