Subject: iptables ftp conntrack using port != 21

Hi everyone,

I want to run the ftp server of my linux box on a non-standard port
(say, 20 for data but 666 for handshake). The problem is that
obviously the connection tracking module in iptables only works with
ports 20/21. If I check my logs I see that the client's LIST command
is recognized as a NEW connection if my ftp server is set to use port
666.
Is this a fact or am I just missing some setting?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
