Re: [FW-1] moving rules and objects from 4.1 to NG



If it's a new install (clean, not upgrade) I think you can probably migrate the same way you'd
move from 4.1 to 4.1?  (setting up new machines..) This is what I do for that:

from old FWDIR/conf to new FWDIR/conf directory:

fw stop... (and then back up the files you're about to work with!!!)
then:
1. copy over fwauth.mdb
2. copy over rulebases.fws
3. copy over all *.W files (your rule bases..)
4. Finally copy over objects.C and make a copy called objects.C.bak  I did not research much, but when I did not copy the .bak file to be the same as the main .C file the .C file got over written.

fw start..

you should have your rule base and objects unless NG has changed these file formats. (YMMV!!)  It does work well in 4.1, the only caveat is that you still lose users and user groups. (not sure how to save these, or if they can me moved over cleanly..) Compared with rebuilding the whole thing, it's a no brainer. I skip fw confmerge on new installs since there is nothing to merge with..

hope that helps!

I just setup and new NG box and would like to move the rules and objects
from my old 4.1 box to this new box. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
