Shorewall has a services file containing 'ftp-data 20/tcp'. According to HISTORY, it was added in 2003-04-04 'to define ftp-data' (no further explanation is provided). Does anyone know why a firewall application would need this, and only this service definition, in its spell? Could it be removed?

It may have been used in a macro or something. Doesn't appear to exist in there now. However, if it's being used somewhere else and we remove it, it will break shorewall...
