so i'm trying to get an ftpserver setup on our firewall. i can ftp to it
from machines behind the firewall just fine but when i try to ftp in from
the outside i get the following 

on server: /var/log/secure
May 21 12:41:02 bubba vsftpd: warning: can't get client address: Bad file descriptor


on the client:

~$ ftp bubba.com
Connected to bubba.com
421 Service not available.


i've played around and i think it has something todo with my firewall
rules. i've set things up todo nat, and it worked in the past. i recently
upgraded to redhat 9, and that is when this started. anyone have any ideas?
