RE: [FW1] yet another problem.....



To switch logs on a remote module, you run the command
	fw logswitch -h <firewall> 
on the MANAGEMENT station, where <firewall> is the name of the firewall
module.  You can them delete the switched log from the firewall (or do
anything else with it that is required by your site policies;-) 

If the logs are ONLY on the firewall module, then use
	fw logswitch -h <firewall> - 
to switch logs, and transfer them to the management station.  ( Using +
instead of - will copy them, leaving a copy of the log in the firewall's
logs directory as well as a copy on the management station).

The name on the management station will look like
	<firewall>.<timestamp>.log



hope this helps

Subject: [FW1] yet another problem.....



Hi again my dear Gurus....!!

I have 2 firewall Modules installed on 2 Solaris boxes
and Firewall Management running on WIN2K.... 

>From my understanding all the firewall logs will be
stored on the Firewall Management Modules and not on
the Firewall module... But however i notice that the
Firewall modules stores files locally as well... 

So i have two copies of log files... One on the
Firewall Module and another on the Management Module..

It is not a problem maintaining the logs on the
Management module as the "fw logswitch" command works
fine...

My problem is on the maintanance of the Log Files on
the Firewall module.... The "fw logswitch" command
does not work.. Message given is 
No matter which directory i run it from it is still
the same... 

I need your help on this one.. how do i make it work
and what is the impact if i manually remove the log
files by using "rm fw.log"....

Pls pls help....Thanks a million to all the Gurus..!!
