RE: [FW1] State Table



Do fwstop, then type 1. fw tab -t connections -u adn 2. modinfo | grep FW.
You can try the same after you do the fw unload localhost.

Let me know what you see.

"fwstop" is quite different from "fw unload localhost."  The first
terminates fwd, fwm, fwalert and any other associated FW-1 processes
(security servers) and removes the kernel module.  It's just a script so you
can read through it.  The latter simply unloads the current applied policy
from the localhost and leaves fwd running with no policy.

The state tables are CLEARED if you stop the firewall or unload your
policies.

You can prove this...

On a test firewall module:

run $FWDIR/bin/fw tab -t connections -u    {displays contents of state
table}
run $FWDIR/bin/fwstop OR $FWDIR/bin/fw unload localhost
run $FWDIR/bin/fw tab -t connections -u
