How do i enable FTP Gatway/Masqurading in Redhat 7.2? Where are the modules available?
sowdesh,
that is a firm solution by MFCRich.
And if you are looking for proxy solution, I bet Rh7.2 does come with Squid. Squid should be able to act as http/https proxy as well as FTP (via HTTP proxy).
If you are into more *complicated* mode, you could configure squid to allow CONNECT method, and this would enable you to use HTTP tunneling. Most TCP service could be tunneled thru HTTPS proxy.
These are the alternate options.
cheers.

What I require is a solution to enable the FTP Gateway.
In the previous version of RedHat I've been doing 'insmod ip_masq_ftp'. Is the ip_masq_ftp.o module available in RedHat 7.2 or is there any other means.
Note that I've got little knowledge of iptables(I've been too lazy, still waiting to explore it). But quiet comfortable with ipchains.

For a gateway you need 2 or more interfaces other than lo as well as appropriate routing table entries and forwarding enabled.
For masquerading you need iptables or ipchains (I recommend iptables). You can also use these for firewalling.
By FTP I assume you want to make files accessible over a network. That requires an FTP server (wu-ftp comes with RH) and a network connection.
Can you be more explicit about what you want?
