RE: [FW1] Nokia question



Nokia IPSO , at last published documentation, utilizes FreeBSD 2.2.6 as the
base.
A Steven points out, it has been completely overhauled and has a heavily
modified kernel. (it still does suffer from some of the exploits that exist
in FreeBSD, hopefully IPSO 3.3 will patchup some of the underlying security
holes)

Not only does it offer a Cisco IOS'ish feel to some of the command line
syntax, it also runs gated with IGRP and BGP4, licensed from Cisco.

But I am sure PhoneBoy could correct me on some of these statements.

Short answer:

The Nokia boxes are running a version of Checkpoint that has been ported to
their specific OS.  Once upon a time, it used to be a version of BSD, but
the Ipsilon (before Nokia bought them...) Engineers took it apart and put it
back together specifically designed for running Firewall-1.  It is not
running any Linux compatibility libraries, thus is not running the Linux
version of Checkpoint.

I believe someone mentioned here mentioned that the Nokia solution used FW-1
on a customized version of FreeBSD.

Does anyone know how this is implemented exactly?  Does the OS have the
Linux compatibility library so it is running the FW-1 version for Linux?
