Betreff: [FW-1] Secure Platform vs. RedHat7.2


hi,

i would like to install a new CP.NG.FP3.

-what are the Pros & Cons between Secure Platform and RedHat7.2?

A big con is the missing ability of proxy-arp. So no static NAT available,
but also in every Linux distribution.

Secure Platform is a special hardened OS, reduced to minimum to fit the
needs of Checkpoint Products.

-what ist with Patches?

will be published by Checkpoint. Included in hotfixes and feature packs

-what is with additional software like Stonebeat?

theoratically yes, but there's actually no option to add users, so if the
program needs a special user account you can't add this user. The commands
"adduser" etc. are there and seem to work, but I think because of the
hardenening the users get no valid shell....

-what is with additional tools like snort?

see above. Might work, might not....?

-which hardware will be supported?

thx for infos

I'm quiet happy with the easy and fast installation and configuration. But I
noticed on two test systems a problem when you reinstall a policy very
often. Even by rebooting the machines. After some times the policy couldn't
be loaded anymore. Need a bit more testing, but it was reproduceable.
