The SuSE Proxy-Suite, a set of programs to enhance firewall security.
The first (and currently only) component being released is the FTP-Proxy.

* Securely relays FTP connections between clients and servers 
* Can switch connections from active to passive and vice versa
* Utilizes port ranges for both control and data connections 
* Provides extensive auditing (via syslog or rotating log files) 
* Can separate user related from system triggered audit events 
* Provides command restriction based on logged in user name 
* Allows command argument checking with regular expressions 
* Is able to retrieve configuration data from an LDAP directory 
* Has been thoroughly tested against buffer overflow attacks 
* Fully conforms to RFC 959 and 1123 (the basic FTP RFCs) 
* Planned to support RFC 1579 ("Firewall Friendly FTP") 
* Planned to support RFC 2428 (IPv6 Extensions for FTP) 
* Based on GNU AutoConf, supposed to run on many UNIX systems
