Can you tell me where that particular file is, so that I can edit it manually. Thanks... Roland "David C.

It seems that anytime the FWCONFIG command is run and the GUI Clients option is selected, fwconfig is actually performing a CAT > under the covers, which of course, wipes out the current contents of the file in "favor of the new matrix" (Spock, Star Trek II, Wrath of Kahn). The better way is to manually edit the file like you did and add your IP to the list. David C.

If you select modify and do not add what is there, it will of course delete all existing entries.

Hi, When I arrived this mornin, tried to log onto the policy editor, I got error message " no response from server / verify if you are an auth GUI client " I am familiar with the error message , so I ssh onto the management station. and notice no entries in /etc/fw/conf/gui-clients. I edit it , add my ip and now im able to connect with the policy editor again. Nothin serious I suppose, just interesting I really do not understand how something like that can just happen. What else might be happening that I am not aware of.... maybe a rule suddenly decides to change itself to ANY-- ANY-- ANY-- ACCEPT ???? anyways dont want to start any flame wars, just thought someone else might have come accross a similar situation with no entries in gui-clients file and know what could maybe cause it ?
