Hi Hoof and all on the list,

>(192,168,1,9,4,14)
4*256+14= 1038
nothing curious in this "probe"

just a passive mode connection from the client to your server _after_ he
requested the server to go to passive mode with this command
>[2] Tue 04Feb03 10:21:25 - (000001) PASV

and your server responded that the client should the data connection
connect to him on port 1038.
>[6] Tue 04Feb03 10:21:25 - (000001) 227 Entering Passive Mode
>(192,168,1,9,4,14)

Your NAT should provide fixup for the address 192.168.1.9 and port 1038
and a permit and translation for the later incomming connection. If it
doesn't it's plain broken NAT.

Best regards,

Subject: FTP/Port 1038

Hi All

At 10:21 GMT today we had an incidence of an ftp user accessing a ServU
(Version 2.5f) server through a NAT. A few seconds later the firewall
noted
an inbound 'probe' on port 1038 (to the w/s - this port is not in the
NAT)

The workstation firewall picked up as follows:
>2003/02/04 10:21:26 203.198.145.93:6718 (mail.hyprint.com)
>192.168.1.9:1038
>Port 1038 (TCP)

The ftp logs show:

A cursory investigation noted that the 'probe' (allegedly from
mail.hyprint.com) came from a machine that thinks it's
mail.hyprint.com.hk
(seemingly no connection to hyprint.com who have a very different MX
config)

I might, at a push, believe this is a new user with a very open box,
except,
the box seems to be a W2K advanced server with M$ Exchange 2000 and DNS
set
up (alongside, RAdmin, ServUFTP 2.5j etc etc.) all running (apparently)
behind a Linksys router (ip +8080).

Anyway - there's the heads up. :)
