[FW-1] unusual error

[Aeon Hale <ahale@FW1-NOSPAMSOLUTIONWORKS.COM>]

Hello,

I have recently started getting an error message in my logs that I have
never seen before; "reason: violated unidirectional connection"

I receive this error during FTP data transfer attempts.  Here's what I
get from my logs:

                service         source          destination
description

ACCEPT  ftp-data                XXX.XXX.XXX.5   XXX.XXX.XXX.6   "reason:
violated unidirectional connection"

AND

REJECT  ftp-data                XXX.XXX.XXX.5   XXX.XXX.XXX.6   "reason:
violated unidirectional connection"



I'm seeing both ACCEPTS and REJECTS in my logs.  I have never seen this
entry before.  I took a look at checkpoints knowledge base and they have
a solution, but it doesn't explain what is causing it.  I'm not to happy
with changing the firewall without knowing why I should.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Aeon Hale
