Regression between 4.6.2 and 4.8.17: ftp and iptables

[Michael Monnerie]

We have a server with vsftpd-2.0.7-4.35.1 on SUSE SLES 11.3 and use 
iptables local firewall
With kernel 4.6.2 it runs normal, when using 4.8.17, ftp doesnât work 
anymore. It seems iptables doesnât open the port for the passive ftp 
connection from the client.

The options for the kernel should be the same, although a diff between 
the two configs spits a lot of lines.
I donât find any mistake from our side, so I guess there was a change in 
the kernel?

Please ask me directly in case of questions, Iâm not on linux-kernel.

mit freundlichen GrÃssen,
Michael Monnerie
