FTP / Telnet normalization and anomaly detection

["Frank Kirschner" <frank () celebrate de>]

Hello snort-users,
 
the FileZilla FTP client uses the "MFMT" command during a FTP session. Snort
blocks this host because "MFMT" is an unknown command.
I have add "MFMT" in my snort.conf as followed:

# FTP / Telnet normalization and anomaly detection.  For more information,

preprocessor ftp_telnet_protocol: ftp client default \
    max_resp_len 256 \
    bounce yes \
    ignore_telnet_erase_cmds yes \
    telnet_cmds yes

Now I have the result, some clients are blocked and some not. But why?

best regards
Frank
