Title: FW: RE: [FW1] Mime-Version: 1.0

Hi Mike,

I don't know if this will help...
I encountered the same problem when upgrading from 4.0 SP3 to 4.1 SP2.
Solution: There shouldn't be any links to recreate simply place the scripts in the appropriate directory: S00fw1bootd in rc2.d and S25fw1boot in rcS.d

You should be able to find these scripts on the 4.0 CD in the solaris2 directory (can't remember the full path).

This resolved my problems on 4.1, not sure if it will do the same for you. Hope this helps.

Ryan

I am attempting to install a FW-1 on Solaris 2.7.  When I attempt to
install the policy I get the following error.

Installing Security Policy Oct18-2000.pf on all.all@firewall
Has only loopback(lo) interface, aborting...
Failed to Load Security Policy: No Such File or Directory
Installing Security Policy on localhost (firewall) failed

fw ctl iflist confirms the firewall sees only lo0 although I have five
other interfaces (qfe0-3 and hme0) which are plumbed, up and working (I can
ping and telnet etc to them).

I tried fw ctl uninstall and fw ctl install to try and get it to read them
with no success.

/etc/fwboot/if.dev contains the qfe type.

I have seen that others who have seen a similar problem have talked about
the installation not creating links to the start up scripts in rc2.d and
rcS.d.  fw1boot rc init scripts.

I think I have the same problem but I do not know for sure and I do not
know which scripts need to be linked to which directories under which names.

Can anyone tell me what else might be the problem or where to find the
details I need to recreate those proper fwboot rc init scripts or proper links?

thank you
