[FW-1] upgrade from 4.1 to NG (very urgent)

[Rajesh <rajesh@FW1-NOSPAMSL.NSW.GOV.AU>]

Hello everyone,

I've installed Checkpoint Firewall Next Generation on a sparc 5 (solaris 8).
I've moved rules and objects from 4.1 to NG using the below procedure:


Copy the files
      $FWDIR/conf/objects.C to disk using the name objects41.C
      $FWDIR/conf/rulebases.fws to disk
      $FWDIR/conf/fwauth.NDB
   Stop Next Generation by cpstop
   Rename the unmodified file $FWDIR/conf/objects.C to $FWDIR/conf/ngobjects.C
   Copy the previously saved files objects41.C, rulebases.fws and fwauth.NDB to
   $FWDIR/conf/ on this new box
   Rename $FWDIR/conf/objects_5_0.C to $FWDIR/conf/50objects.C
   Rename $FWDIR/conf/rulebases_5_0.fws to $FWDIR/conf/50rulebases.fws
   Merge the objects by using
   $FWDIR/bin fw confmerge $FWDIR/conf/objects41.C
   $FWDIR/conf/ngobjects.C > $FWDIR/conf/objects.C
   Check the objects using
   $FWDIR/bin/fw checkobj
   $FWDIR/bin/fw cpmi_upgrade
   cpstart

   I managed to convert 4.1 objects to NG (5.0). But when I try to open
   the rulebase using windows GUI, it is not showing the old firewall policy.

   Is it something to do with rulebases_5_0.fws file. How can I fix the problem?

   Any help will be appreciated. It's very urgent.

   Thanks,
   Rajesh.
