incoming ftp problem

I can see what's not working, but so far I can't see why. I also have a
(public) DNS server on the firewall, which is working fine, along with a
public Web server.

The log clearly shows the ftp connections being blocked, but I don't see how
to tell what extra rules would allow this - thought the RELATED and
NEW,ESTABLISHED stuff would handle that. But the only thing getting through
is the initial ftp login.

I've been looking around for docs on interpreting iptables logs, but can't
find any. (It would also be nice to find where to turn off MAC address
logging - just makes it hard to read the important stuff.)

Thanks again,
Whit
