[squid-users] FTP access problem

Hi all,

When trying access ftp sites through one of my squid boxes (squid 2.5
stable 5 on redhat 9), the connection times out. If I try to connect
directly, all works fine. I have not made any recent changes to the
squid.conf file and cannot understand why it has stopped working. I can
ftp from the problem server to any destination.

I have copied the squid.conf file a test server and ftp works fine on
that box (the test server is 2.5 stable 13).

I set the debug mode to 9 and have included a section of cache.log. The
process seems to go no further than "ftpStart:"
