That is not an error. Remember that
you're only running management software not a firewall module, hence there
should exist no /dev/fw0. I imagine your trying to do like an 'fw stat', that's
only for firewall modules not management station.

I'm setting up FW-1 version 4.1 with management on a separate UNIX
system running Solaris 7. When trying to get firewall status I get the
error '/dev/fw0 no such file or directory'. I have used the suggested
method from phoneboy to recreate lost or corrupted /dev/fw0. This worked
until I got to the command ' /usr/sbin/add_drv fw' which responded with
'response driver (fw) is already installed. I checked in the
/devices/pseudo directory and there is a 'fw@0:fw' system file. I
suspect that with this file I will not be able to recreate a new /dev/fw0.
The question I have is has anyone
manually deleted the 'fw@0:fw' file in /devices/pseudo and then tried
recreating the /dev/fw0 successfully? If not, then will I need to
reinstall the firewall software on the management system.
The only problem I have is trying to get status.
I can load the firewall system and manage two other firewall's without
any (apparent) problems.
I'd
appreciate suggestions to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
