I don't run cp fw1 on a redhat system :) SuSE7 You are right, the linux implemention isn't worth to run out of the box yet.....I had to hack almost all cp start-scripts to let it run smoothly.(smp detection, rc.d stuff, fw1boot, fw1start, fw1stop And I don't like these unattended rpm installs.....I would like to see what happens while upgrading/installing cp fw1. (all the time, when a new service pack arrives, I have to reengineer these post/pre scripts in the rpm package.....that really su**) Final statement: If someone wants to run cp fw1 on a linux system, he should be very familiar with the os.... regards, mike ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 09, 2001 4:30 PM Subject: Re: [FW1] Questions about CheckPoint 2000 Enteprise Suite -SP2 + Linux > > Well...
