[SLUG] Centos -vsftpd-passive mode-firewall

Hello Sluggers.

So I read the manual for vsftpd & iptables and I'm still not sure how to
make this work. I have a small server with Centos 4.2 running vsftpd
with the firewall enabled. I cannot get passive ftp mode to work. I
think it is the firewall blocking the ports but I'm not sure how to get
this all going.

I think I have to enable passive mode and set the lowest port number
that can be used in vsftpd.conf but then how do I set up the firewall to
let those ports work?

Can anyone assist?
