Re: [FW-1] Redirect NG logs to another drive?

[Reinhard Stich <r.stich@FW1-NOSPAMINTERNET-SECURITY.AT>]

hi,


Windows NT/2000
============
1.  Add to the registry a new string value of 'FWLOGDIR' under one of the
following registry locations:


FireWall-1 4.1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\FW1\4.1


FireWall-1 NG:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\FW1\5.0

2.  Specify the full path name to the new log directory in the value data
field.
Note: The target path directory must exist prior to modifying the registry.

3.  Reboot the server.

NOTE: Make sure ANTI-VIRUS software is disabled

UNIX
====
1.  On UNIX machines, you can symbolically link the '$FWDIR/log' directory
to another drive.
Example:

fwstop
mv $FWDIR/log $FWDIR/log.old
ln -s /path/to/new/logdir $FWDIR/log
fwstart WARNING: It's strongly not recommended to put the log directory on
a remote
file system. Doing so can result in unpredicted corruptions in active log
files (fw.log, fw.adtlog)

cheers
