[FW1] no SIC when computer hw clocks are not in sync



Will,

Thanks for your solution, I installed the NTP protocol
to sync the time of the gateway that runs the enforcement module
with the server that runs the checkpoint mgmt module, 
and I can confirm that SIC does communicate now. Probably
NTP can be handy anyway for analysis of logfiles that
are time sync'd. Anyone who sees NTP as a potential security
risk? ;)

I used some old Asus mobo with an expired CMOS power lithium cell.
NTP will now set the hwclock at boot time.

I'll cc this email to some people involved with FW-1
as well as support at checkpoint ;)

Hans, Check your time and date on both management and module - they should
match. I had the same error and this was the cause.

Hope this helps-

Will

Subject: [FW1] (2) Bad SIC status between NT4.0 and Linux RH6.2


Hi,

(1)

Im evaluating Checkpoint NG with a distributed setup:

- management server and management clients on Windows NT Workstation SP6a
- enforcement module on Linux Redhat 6.2, kernel 2.2.19

normal communication between the two machines is ok, but when I use
the Policy editor on the management host, and enter the Linux box
as a gateway, it is possible to establish a trust under the
Communication button, but testing the SIC status is not possible:

Sic status from <host>: Not Communicating

Internal SSL authentication error [ alert from peer bad certificate ]

*** Contact Check Point Support ***



(2)

Also, when using secure update, It is not possible to attach a central
license for the enforcement module. I right-click the Linux gateway
that has the enforcement module installed and that I had to enter
in the policy editor first, then I choose Attach Licenses... A dialog
box will popup, and I select one of my licenses, and click on the Attach
button. NOTHING HAPPENS. no error, nothing.


(3)

In both cases (1) and (2), when I run tcpdump at the Linux gateway on the
interface that is connected to the management host, I will see some traffic
between:

linuxgw.zinopsys.nl.18191 > mgmthst.zinopsys.nl.1144
mgmthst.zinopsys.nl.1144 > linuxgw.zinopsys.nl.18191
etc..

At the same time, on the console will be logged:

FW-1: cannot write to host_table

My wild guess is, that checkpoint modules have an internal host_table which
are needed for both SIC communication and plugging in the licenses.
If, for some reason ???? the module can't write to the host_table,
It also won't communicate with remote modules.

Anyone who can tell me what a host_table is, where I can find it, and
help it to behave in a better way?

(BTW, latest hotfixes are installed on both machines)
