No _G_UI - but an UI. One simply has to edit the *.C and *.W files with
an editor (e.g. VI) and issue the proper fw... commands. Works
faithfully via SSH and even via 9600baud modem dial-in i.e. for a "dead"
or remote Sun server (where keyboard/graphics died or network unreachable).
Didding through the logs for connection debugging is a bit unwieldy if
you only have a single (9600) line, though. Tools
(http://www.wyae.de/software/fwtools.html) can help a lot dissecting the
configuration.
It is wise to make a backup of your config files prior to editing as
that is not for the faint-hearted. In defense of Checkpoint I have to
note that the config files are well structured and good to read and
understand - esp. in contrast to e.g. the Raptor config file nightmare.
Good luck!
